Some twenty manuscript pieces are published here for the first time. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The notorious “Mermaid Inn” essay in which Campbell refers to the mythical nature of the cross is included, and so is the letter of self-justification that Campbell wrote—but never sent—to the editor of the \u003ci\u003eGlobe\u003c\/i\u003e. Here, too, are speeches, essays published in \u003ci\u003eThe Week\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eOttawa Evening Journal\u003c\/i\u003e, and significant sections from Campbells unfinished treatise on evolution, “The Tragedy of Man.” \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e By the time Campbell died on New Year’s Day 1918, shifting values had begun to turn critical opinion against his work. Now \u003ci\u003eWilliam Wilfred Campbell: Selected Poetry and Essays\u003c\/i\u003e will enable Canadians to appreciate Campbells art and to recognize his place in the development of Canadian thought. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wilfrid Laurier University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120114909424,"sku":"9780889205253","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780889205253_p0.jpg?v=1763844203","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780889205253","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
