Summary "Highways of Canadian Literature" by J. D. Logan and Donald G. French is a comprehensive historical survey written in the early 20th century. This work aims to provide an extensive overview of Canadian literature in English, tracing its development from the Puritan Migration in 1760 to the late 1920s. The book explores the social and spiritual contexts that influenced Canadian authors and highlights key literary movements and figures, distinguishing between different epochs in Canadian literary history. The opening of the work presents the necessity for a synoptic history of Canadian literature, noting the recent academic interest in this field and the lack of comprehensive resources to guide educators and readers. Logan emphasizes the importance of understanding how Canadian literature has developed in relation to its social, cultural, and historical backgrounds. He argues for a deeper appreciation of this literature, which, while still young, reflects a growing national consciousness and distinct literary identity. The early chapters set the stage for exploring the roots of Canadian literary expression, detailing the influences of various migrations and the foundational works that contribute to the early narrative of Canadian literature.
