Of Sunken Islands and Pestilence Restoring the Voice of Edward Taylor Fletch…
Fletcher was a voracious reader of works in many languages and although he was oriented toward Britain, his writing notably reflects a gaze fixed on a horizon much further away. His work therefore stands in contrast to the tendency of later Canadian writers, who focus inward on the nation, and on issues of Canadian identity. His work as a surveyor allowed him to travel across the country, obser…

The Medium Is the Monster Canadian Adaptations of Frankenstein and the Disco…
Technology, a word that emerged historically first to denote the study of any art or technique, has come, in modernity, to describe advanced machines, industrial systems, and media.
