    The Colorado Potato Beetle in Canada

    No full text
    Among the insects which have been introduced into Canada in modern times, none have become so widespread, so well known to all the people, or have caused such great annual losses as the Colorado potato beetle. In the half century since its first appearance in Ontario it has become established in all of the provinces of the Dominion. The damage caused by the insect year after year and the annual expenditure necessary for its control together amount to an enormous tax on one of the great food crops of the country. An intensive study of the insect was incepted by the senior author at Ottawa in 1919, and in that year and the following year he was assisted by Mr. J. A. Flock. Mr. H. F. Hudson undertook studies at Strathroy, Ont., in 1920 and 1921, and Mr. R. P. Gorham at Fredericton, N.B., in 1921 and 1922. In all of these investigations much new data have been assembled

    The "Illimitable Dominion" of Charles Dickens: Transatlantic Print Culture and the Spring of 1842

    This article explores Edgar Allan Poe’s May 1842 edition of Graham’s Monthly Magazine in the context of debates about international copyright circulating in the press at the time of Charles Dickens’s famous tour of the US. I offer a reading of Poe’s short story ‘The Masque of the Red Death’, and his review of Hawthorne’s Twice-Told Tales that sees these texts as interventions in transatlantic debates at the forefront of the public imagination in the Spring of 1842. In particular, through an original close reading of ‘The Masque of the Red Death’ I demonstrate how Poe subtly drew upon penny press exposés to inform the short story’s discussion of class, status and rights of access. I also suggest that the argument Poe made in his review of Nathaniel Hawthorne about the importance of ‘invention, creation, imagination [and] originality’ to the ‘prose tale’ is usefully considered in the same context, as an American response to questions of authorship that were also raised by the popular hysteria surrounding Dickens
