The Imperialist

$15.00 CAD

pp. 356, “Set in the fictional Ontario town of Elgin at the beginning of the twentieth century, this 1904 novel was in its own time addressed largely to British readers. It has since become a Canadian classic, beloved for its ironic and dryly humorous portrait of small-town life. But ‘The Imperialist’ is also a fascinating representation of race, gender, and nationalism in Britian’s ‘settler colonies.’ This Broadview edition provides a wealth of contextual material invaluable to understanding the novel’s historical context, and particularly the debate, central to the story, over Edwardian Canada’s role in the British Empire.”
