{"product_id":"old-ontario","title":"Old Ontario","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 Group Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54224359850328,"sku":"9781550020601","price":27.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781550020601_7ca16593-58b4-4bed-8526-2a1a9e31f7cc.jpg?v=1769668234","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/old-ontario","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
