The Queen Anne Revival Style in Canadian Architecture


Book Description

Contains an overview of the origin of the style in Great Britain and its American interpretation. In examining the style in Canada, it begins with the efforts made by Canadian architects to adapt it to a new and often difficult habitat.

Canada-- an American Nation?


Book Description

Are Canadians so influenced by the United States that they lack a distinct identity? This question has preoccupied Canadians and Canadianists for years. Canada - An American Nation? is a compilation of Allan Smith's essays on the influence of American society on Canadian identity. Based on the notion that Canada can best be understood if viewed in relation to the United States, the book explores the ways in which American influences have challenged Canada's cultural independence and asks whether Canada has maintained its own identity.
