SYNOPSIS: One of Canada's most published authors, Jessie L. Beattie is a writer whose career spans almost fifty years and, with the publication of these memoirs, a total of sixteen books. Perfecting a style acclaimed by critics as "an art that conceals art," her literary output includes poetry, novels, travel, biography, short stories, essays and plays. Her career has been highlighted by such major successes as The Split in the Sky, a chronicle of the Six Nations Indians, and Strength for the Bridge, a novel which drew attention to Canada's unjust treatment of Japanese-Canadians during World War II and which has been translated into Japanese and used in the universities of Japan. A Walk Through Yesterday recaptures the flavour of farm life in Canada at the turn of the century and presents a loving portrait of the author's family. It recalls her courageous struggle against life-long ill health, and recounts, with honesty and warmth, the story of her maturing life as a woman and a writer, through her years in Toronto, Buffalo, Atlantic City, Vancouver, Hamilton and Toronto again. With mellow and captivating tones, she relives and shares the excitement of a young woman taking her place in the world, the thrill of her first published novel, and the satisfaction of a lifetime devoted to her art. Hearkening to an era when family ties were still an enduring part of life, A Walk Through Yesterday will captivate and enchant the many readers who have been drawn to Miss Beattie's writings over the years. Jessie L. Beattie was born on a farm near Blair, Ontario. She has compressed several careers into one lifetime - librarian, teacher, social worker, dramatist and author. The most important, by her evaluation, has been her experience as a writer of books. She has won admiration and acclaim for her contributions to Canadian literature from such peers in the field as Sir Charles G. D. Roberts, E. J. Pratt, Pelham Edgar, Will R. Bird, W. A. Deacon and Dr. Lorne Pierce. At the age of fifteen she wrote and produced a three-act play and won a prize for poetry; and at seventeen she sold a 6,000-word short story. This author displays rare compassion and understanding of human nature. Her last four books have been written by dictation. She is the subject of a critical study by Ray Reed, Jessie L. Beattie: Her Life and Works, 1896-1972. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. N° de réf. du vendeur 002295
