River of Now and Then: Margaret Laurence's The Diviners (Canadian Fiction Studies series)

Canadian Fiction Studies are an answer to every librarian's, student's, and teacher's wishes. Each book, about 80 pages in length, contains clear, readable information on a major Canadian novel. These studies are carefully designed readings of the novels; they are not substitutes for reading them. Each book is attractively produced and follows the same format, so students will know exactly what to expect:

a chronology of the author's life
the importance of the book
critical reception
reading of the text
selected list of works cited
