Zusammenfassung:Once called 'The Father of Canadian Poetry,' Charles Sangster was much praised by his contemporaries. His two major works, The St Lawrence and the Sagunay and Other Poems (1856) and Hesperus and Other Poems and Lyrics (1860), received favourable reviews in England and the United States as well as home. Charles Sangster's poetry reflects the cultural atmosphere of Canada West in the middle of the nineteenth century. As Gordon Johnston points out, Sangster was the first to look poetically at the Canadian wilderness; and although the poet sees it as God's creation, he also recognizes its dangers and terrors. As poet Sangster also deals with his reasons for writing poetry and the problems of writing. The two volumes reprinted here in the complete text have long been out of print. They will be welcomed by many who wish to read this important nineteenth-century Canadian poet
