Milnes on art.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe essays were written to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the \u003cem\u003eUniversity of Toronto Quarterly\u003c\/em\u003e. The contributors were invited to discuss the changes, problems, challenges, and achievements in the arts in the last fifty years. Since all the authors had personal experience of at least a large section of the period surveyed, the editors welcomed personal reminiscence as well as description and assessment. The result is a varied group of essays in each of which the character of the individual artist is clearly evident; together, they provide a complex, many-faceted, lively, and living discussion of the cultural development of Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis anniversary collection of essays is a valuable and provocative source for courses in Canadian studies and for anyone interested in the development of the arts and humanities in Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Keith J.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43575558144182,"sku":"9780802064257","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780802064257_411e972c-6667-4ad4-9a1d-94c0880fc086.jpg?v=1727459872","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/the-arts-in-canada","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
