This book provides both a detailed survey of Canadian travel writingin the nineteenth century and an unusual perspective on Canadiancultural history. The Canadians who wrote about their experiencesabroad during the era of mass travel which followed the advent of thesteamship reveal much about themselves and their own country aswell. Who were these travellers, why did they travel, and what did theyexpect to see? In answering these questions, Eva-Marie Kroller drawsupon a wide variety of materials: novels, guide books, magazines,newspapers, photographs, paintings, and previously unpublished lettersand diaries. The self-assured progress of the privileged Canadiantravellers often turned into introspective voyages of self-discovery.For one thing, Europeans often mistook them for Americans, and many hadto ask themselves what it really meant to be Canadian. In addition, thetone of moral earnestness which pervades the early travellers'tales begins to give way to a certain world-weariness by the end. InCanada and elsewhere, the 'tourist' was a new phenomenon at thebeginning of the period, but an accepted part of the modern world bythe end of it. Canadian Travellers in Europe will be requiredreading for devotees of travel writing, but it is also a significantcontribution to nineteenth-century Canadian history.
Reprint of the original, first published in 1881.
Describes the Canadian's European war during the final eight months. First Canadian Army's role was to guard the Allied flank during the rapid advance from Normandy across France to Belgium and Holland. While not as glamorous as other phases of pursuit, the tasks of the Canadians were as brutally punishing as any. By the Spring of 1945, much of Holland had been liberated. All the while Canadian sailors fought bitter campaigns to clear European waters of German submarines and surface vessels.
Given the legal, political, economic and social similarities that exist, comparisons between the European Union (EU) and Canada can prove instructive. This volume introduces the rationale for comparing Canada and the EU and reviews the political initiatives that have been undertaken to forge links between the two. Taking the political and economic structure used by the EU, it compares this structure to the Canadian model, at both the federal/supranational level and the local government level. Using various disciplinary approaches and case studies, specific policy areas are used to illustrate these comparisons, and several of the papers in the collection extend these comparisons to the NAFTA level. A highly useful reference tool, Crossing the Atlantic will intrigue and inform an interdisciplinary and inter-regional studies audience.
The end of the Cold War and the advent of the European Union (EU) as an emerging political actor have fundamentally changed Canada's approach to its relations with Western Europe. Trans-Atlantic Partners traces the Canadian Government's reassessment of its traditional Atlanticist foreign policy orientation by looking at the rising importance of the EU as a key "pillar" in Canada's post-World War II trans-Atlantic relations.
