Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

A clean tight copy with only minor edgewear. Patterns of the Past: Interpreting Ontario's History was published by Dundurn Press of Toronto in 1988, issued simultaneously in hardcover and paperback, with ISBNs 1-55002-035-8 and 1-55002-034-X respectively. It was produced to commemorate the centenary of the Ontario Historical Society, which was organized in September 1888 as the Pioneer Association of Ontario and adopted its current name a decade later. The volume carries an introduction by Ian Wilson, then Archivist of Ontario, and was edited by Roger Hall, William Westfall, and Laurel Sefton MacDowell, with Freya Godard serving as co-ordinating editor. At the time of publication, Hall was in the History Department at the University of Western Ontario, Westfall was Chair of History at Atkinson College, York University, and MacDowell was at Erindale College, University of Toronto. The volume brings together eighteen scholars to produce fresh interpretive essays ranging across the full scope of Ontario's history. The subject range is genuinely broad. The collection addresses early Indigenous peoples, rural life in Upper Canada, the opening of the North, the impact of railways on provincial society, and the development of businesses and institutions. The social history dimension is equally present: new roles for women in industrial society, working-class experience, ethnic communities, and the history of childhood are all represented. There are also essays on the conservation movement, the role of science in provincial life, and the relationship between society and culture in Ontario's small towns — a range that reflects the expansive conception of social history that characterized Canadian academic historiography in the 1980s. Critical reception was warm. Jeff Keshen in Ontario History called it a fine collection worthy of commemorating the Society's centenary. Martin Hewitt in the British Journal for Canadian Studies praised its refreshing range of topics, and Donald Swainson in the Canadian Historical Review described it as a varied, well-edited, and interesting collection, congratulating the Ontario Historical Society on the result.…
