Pilgrims Progress a Study of the Short Stories of Hugh Hood A Study of the Short Stories of Hugh Hood

Hugh Hood has been called Canada's foremost writer of short stories, and this bookthe first complete critical work on Hood's short storiesillustrates why he is the master craftsman of this genre. Hood has always insisted that his short-story collections should be treated as a unityas if each story were a chapter of a novel. In this book, the author accepts Hood's challenge, and shows how his six collections to date are carefully arranged in relation to a guiding theme. As Copoloff-Mechanic shows, the stories in each of the collections are carefully interconnected to illuminate the details of Canadian life in terms of a universal, timeless drama.Copoloff-Mechanic, Susan is the author of 'Pilgrims Progress a Study of the Short Stories of Hugh Hood A Study of the Short Stories of Hugh Hood' with ISBN 9781550220001 and ISBN 1550220004.
