Reviews

'... a welcome addition to the already large body of Munro criticism.' Commonwealth Essays and Studies

'... a welcome addition to the already large body of Munro criticism.' Commonwealth Essays and Studies 'The Companion leaves the impression that reading and discussing Munro is an ongoing conversation - a conversation very much enriched by this multifaceted book.' Christine Lorre-Johnston, British Journal of Canadian Studies 'As a volume, Staines' is distinguished by a mixture of contributors both academic and writerly; essays by noted Munro scholars Robert McGill and Howells, for instance, rub shoulders with writers' perspectives on Munro by Elizabeth Hay, Merilyn Simonds, Douglas Glover, and fellow Cambridge subject Atwood.'
