{"product_id":"9781459713833","title":"Old Ontario: Essays in Honour of J M S Careless","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn ten original studies, former students and colleagues of Maurice Careless, one of Canada's most distinguished historians, explore both traditional and hitherto neglected topics in the development of nineteenth-century Ontario. Their papers incorporate the three themes that characterize their mentor's scholarly efforts: metropolitan-hinterland relations; urban development; and the impact of 'limited identities' — gender, class, ethnicity and regionalism — that shaped the lives of Old Ontarians. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Traditional topics — colonial-imperial tension and the growth of Canadian autonomy in the Union period, the making of a 'compact' in early York, politics in pre-Rebellion Toronto, and the social vision of the late Upper Canadian elites — are re-examined with fresh sensitivity and new sources. Maters about which little has been written — urban perspectives on rural and Northern Ontario, Protestant revivals, an Ontario style in church architecture, the late-nineteenth-century ready-made clothing industry, Native-Newcomer conflict to the 1860s, and the separate and unequal experiences of women and men student teachers at the Provincial Normal school — receive equally insightful treatment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e An appreciative biography of Careless, an analysis of the relativism underpinning his approach to national and Ontario history, and a listing of Careless's publications, complete this stimulating collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dundurn Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47124599242992,"sku":"9781459713833","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781459713833_p0.jpg?v=1763867041","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781459713833","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
