John Hugh MacLennan, a five-time winner of Canada’s prestigious Governor General’s Literary Award, contributed immensely to the creation of a distinct Canadian literature.
Although MacLennan regarded Halifax as his home town, he was born in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, a Cape Breton coastal community dominated, for many years, by the coal-mining industry.
His careful description of the beauty of the Cape Breton landscape is in sharp contrast with the coarseness of the company town with its tenement houses, row on row, and the exploitive aspects and dangers of its labour-intensive collieries.
