Seanchaidhna Coille / Memory-Keeper of the Forest

Author: Michael Newton
Publisher: Cape Breton University Press

Gaelic-speaking communities could be found all over Canada from the late-18th century to the mid-20th century. This is the first anthology of prose and poetry – mostly literary, some more ‘historical’ in tone – to give voice to the experience of Gaelic Canadians, about a broad set of themes: migration, politics, religion, identity, family life, social organizations and more.
