Canada to Ireland: Poetry, Politics, and the Shaping of Canadian Nationalism, 1788-1900

Canada to Ireland explores the poetry and prose of twelve Irish writers and nationalists in Canada between 1788 and 1900. The book demonstrates that Canadian cultural nationalism left its mark on both countries. Contemporary decolonization movements in Canada and cultural exchanges between Ireland and Indigenous peoples make this a timely study.
