Book excerpt: Willmott (English, Queen's U., Canada) has undertaken a study of modern English-language Canadian novels, breaking them down into unifying components to allow their consideration as a distinct literary genre. Among the authors whose novels are discussed are Bertram Brooker, Sinclair Ross, Frederick Philip Grove, Martha Ostenso, Ethel Wilson, Thomas Raddall, Ernest Buckler, and Alice Jones. Themes include the nation as youth, post-colonialism, post- modernism, imperialist ideology, and economic class distinctions. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
