Beschreibung:
Isabella Valancy Crawford (25 December 1846 - 12 February 1887) was an Irish-born Canadian writer and poet. She was one of the first Canadians to make a living as a freelance writer. She is known primarily as a poet, but during her lifetime she was equally well-known as a writer of prose fiction. She was a regular contributor to Frank Leslie's New York publications. In 1886 she became the first local writer to have a novel, A Little Bacchante, realized by The Globe of Toronto.
Known primarily as a poet, Isabella Valancy Crawford's short stories represent the best of early English-Canadian prose. In her stories, as in her poetry, her power lies in her use of imagery. In this collection her fictional portrayals of Canadian life give us glimpses into our literary past.
