THE IMPERIALIST - SARA JEANNETTE DUNCAN TASCHEN...

This work is set in a fictionalized Brantford when Canada was emerging as a new country but
still with strong ties to Britain. Lorne Murchison is the first-generation son of an honorable
immigrant family  sure that favored trade with Britain is the only way forward. He is ready to
put his reputation in danger to persuade the people of his upwardly mobile Ontario county to
agree to his views. But everyone else in the town has their personal opinions about the present
and future of Canada. Canada is depicted as a nation coming to grips with an identity entangled
with British imperialism. Another intriguing character Advena  who is Lorne's sister has high
flown ideals and dreams of her own. She begins an uncommitted relationship with a recently
arrived Scottish minister  subtly reflecting the public story. On the other hand  Lorne falls
in love with Dora Milburn  whose conservative family is the polar opposite of the liberal
Murchisons. The romantic subplot  along with the main political plot  made this work an
exciting read and a hit during its time.
