"Margaret Atwood called Ernest Buckler "one of the pathbreakers for the modern Canadian novel," yet he has slipped into relative obscurity. This new book by Marta Dvorak, Ernest Buckler: Rediscovery and Reassessment, breaks fresh gound in Canadian literary studies by analyzing some of Buckler's works that have remained unknown or unexplored by critics; and by addressing the formalistic innovations of these texts. It allows a general readership to discover - and an international specialized readership to reassess - the wide, even eclectic scope of an author best known for his first novel, The Mountain and the Valley."--BOOK JACKET.
