Sobre este artículo

Ralph Connor is the pseudonym of Charles William Gordon (1860-1937), a significant figure in the history of Canadian literature. He is notable as being Canada's first best-selling author, achieving great success with his novels set on the frontiers. Having become a Presbyterian Minister, he was the chaplain for the 43rd Cameron Highlanders during the First World War, and would go on to become the senior Protestant chaplain for the entire Canadian Forces. He was also integral to the creation of the United Church of Canada. Connor's religious beliefs greatly informed his writing.

The Rock and the River: A Romance of Quebec differs from his earlier works in terms of subject matter and is an example of his forays into historical fiction. The novel is set during the War of 1812 and gives an account of the conflict from the perspective of Lower Canada. This volume may be described as being in Very Good condition, and it retains the dust jacket which is in Fair condition, with wear to the edges and spine. The book is inscribed to George Stewart, "Friend and bookmaker," and the author has signed both his pseudonym and real name. The inscription is dated 1932. This is an excellent example of a work by a key figure of Canadian literary history, made even more significant by the signature.
