Barometer Rising (New Canadian Library) List Price:
Description
Penelope Wain believes that her lover, Neil Macrae, has been killed while serving overseas under her father. That he died apparently in disgrace does not alter her love for him, even though her father is insistent on his guilt. What neither Penelope or her father knows is that Neil is not dead, but has returned to Halifax to clear his name. Hugh MacLennan’s first novel is a compelling romance set against the horrors of wartime and the catastrophic Halifax Explosion of December 6, 1917.
Customer Reviews
Brilliantly Conceived, Flawlessly Executed Another entry from the Canadian New Library Series, another homerun for Canadian literature. That must necessarily be the ruling on this immensely engaging 1941 freshman effort from Hugh MacLennan, for "Barometer Rising" is a taut, intensely character driven novel from one of Canada's great essayists. MacLennan went on to write several other novels, more essays, and even some travelogues, history, and poetry. He is nothing if not versatile. If only more people knew about the wealth of literary gems from the Great White North awaiting their pleasure in the libraries and bookstores. For those interested in exploring the brilliance of Canadian literature, Hugh MacLennan is a great place to start. Hugh MacLennan died in 1990.

MacLennan, Hugh
Canadian, 1907–1990
Hugh MacLennan discovered his talent as an essayist relatively late in his writing career, and initially his motives for developing this talent were more financial than artistic. When the success of the novel Two Solitudes (1945) encouraged him to give up teaching and live by writing alone, it also made him a recognized authority on Canadian culture and where Canada stood in relation to Europe and the United States. Magazine editors were interested in having him express more directly the ideas behind his novels, and, needing money to supplement his income from fiction, MacLennan obliged. It was only gradually, however, that he came to see himself as an essayist, and even after he had won two Governor-General’s Awards for nonfiction and developed a deep attachment to the essay form, he continued to think of himself as a novelist first.
MacLennan’s idea of essay writing as a pleasant but relatively insignificant sideline, however reasonable in view of contemporary tastes, went against his natural abilities.

(b . March 20, 1907, Glace Bay, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Can.d. Nov. 7, 1990, Montreal, Que.), Canadian novelist and essayist whose books offer an incisive social and psychological critique of contemporary Canadian life. A Rhodes scholar at Oxford, MacLennan received a Ph.D. from Princeton (1935) and taught Latin and history at Lower Canada College, Montreal (1935-45). He was professor of English at McGill University (1951-63). MacLennan's first novel, Barometer Rising (1941), is a moral fable that uses as a background the actual explosion of a munitions ship that partly destroyed the city of Halifax in 1917. His later novels include Two Solitudes (1945), which explores Anglo-French relations in Canada; The Precipice (1948), a study of differences between Canadian and U.S. citizens; and The Watch That Ends the Night (1959), an existentialist study of a man faced with a moral and psychological crisis. Return of the Sphinx (1967) is a political novel about French-Canadian nationalism. His seventh novel

EDITION: BINDING: PUBLISHER: PAGES: This product is not available.
SUMMARY "First time in the New Canadian Library " "Northwest of Montreal, through a valley always in sight of the low mountains of the Laurentian Shield, the Ottawa River flows out of Protestant Ontario into Catholic Quebec. It comes down broad and ale-coloured and joins the Saint Lawrence, the two streams embrace the pan of Montreal Island, the Ottawa merges and loses itself, and the main-stream moves northeastward a thousand miles to sea." With these words Hugh MacLennan begins his powerful saga of Athanase Tallard, the son of an aristo-cratic French-Canadian tradition, of Kathleen, his beautiful Irish wife, and of their son Paul, who struggles to establish a balance in himself and in the country he calls home. First published in 1945, and set mostly in the time of the First World War, "Two Solitudes" is a classic novel of individuals working out the latest stage in their embroiled history.

Web www.custom-essay.net Hugh MacLennan discovered his talent as an essayist relatively late in his writing career, and initially his motives for developing this talent were more financial than artistic. When the success of the novel Two Solitudes ( 1945) encouraged him to give up teaching and live by writing alone, it also made him a recognized authority on Canadian culture and where Canada stood in relation to Europe and the United States. Magazine editors were interested in having him express more directly the ideas behind his novels, and, needing money to supplement his income from fiction, MacLennan obliged. It was only gradually, however, that he came to see himself as an essayist, and even after he had won two Governor-General's Awards for nonfiction and developed a deep attachment to the essay form, he continued to think of himself as a novelist first. MacLennan's idea of essay writing as a pleasant but relatively insignificant sideline, however reasonable in view of contemporary tastes, went against his natural abilities. Writing novels was always a struggle involving extensive drafting, rewriting, and editing; in contrast, writing essays came naturally to him so that, after a little practice, he was able to complete a good essay in only a couple of days. Also, the instructional bent which sometimes made MacLennan's novels seem too plainly dedicated to illustrating ideas for modern tastes proved an asset in his essays, where he excelled at explaining complex subjects lucidly and memorably. While his novels are of central importance in the development of modern Canadian literature, none is without significant flaws; more than a few of his essays, on the other hand, are excellent by any standard.
