The Lone Shieling

Origin and Authorship of the Blackwood 'Canadian Boat-Song'

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Professor Needler presents here the evidence that the poem, more appropriately called "The Lone Shieling," forms a beautiful tie of sentiment between Upper Canada and the Scottish Highlands, as it was Galt’s work for the Canada Company that gave Moir the direct inspiration for the writing of it.

Autorenporträt

G.H. NEEDLER, the author of this book, is a native of Ontario, of mingled English and Scotch-Irish ancestry. After graduation at the University of Toronto and extended study in Germany, he became a member of the staff of University College, and was for several years Head of the Department of German. He has published a metrical translation of the The Nibelungenlied and shared in the making of several school text-books. Since becoming Professor emeritus he has edited a volume of letters of Mrs. Jameson to Goethe’s daughter-in-law, which he found in the Weimar Archives. The present book is a by-product of further study in the early Canadian field, particularly John Galt’s writings and his work with the Canada Company, which forms the background for “The Lone Shieling.”
