Summary:A mere four years earlier, George Woodcock almost singlehandedly established Canadian Literature, permanently altering the rules of the domestic critical game and shaping a context for many writers from the West; this is just one of historian Maria Tippett's arresting accounts of the province's cultural life. By today's standards, even the well-intentioned engagements with Aboriginal art would risk being dismissed as cultural appropriation; nevertheless, Tippett is careful to point out not just the earnestness of Carr, Coulthard, and especially Ryga in The Ecstasy of Rita Joe (1967), but also the effect of such encounters on subsequent generations of artists.
