Imagined City, The

A survey of the people, places and stories that make up Winnipeg's literary history, from its earliest days to the present. Illustrated with maps and photos.

David Arnason and Mhari Mackintosh trace the literary history of Winnipeg from the time of Manitoba's first settlers to the present, examining through excerpts and criticism the significant works, people and places along the way.

This mosaic history of the intellectual life that has developed in Canada's geographic centre is illustrated with more than 130 photos and maps that help to reveal how a small hub city, at the meeting of two rivers, has grown into one of the country's most diverse and dense artistic communities.
