1819 William Collins, a Glaswegian Millworker, Sets up a Company for Printing and Publishing Pamphlets, Sermons, Hymn Books, and Prayer Books 1819 William Collins, a Glaswegian millworker, sets up a company for printing and publishing pamphlets, sermons, hymn books, and prayer books. 1825 Collins starts shipping books to Canada to be sold at Halifax-area bookstores owned by the MacKinlay family. 1878 The company publishes its first history of the Canadian Maritime provinces, an educational title aimed specifically at a Canadian audience. The title is sold across the country by the Hudson’s Bay Company. 1930 Franklin F. Appleton establishes the Canadian branch of William Collins on the fourth floor of 70 Bond Street in downtown Toronto. Also present in the building is the office of the Macmillan Company of Canada. Fun fact: Appleton began his bookselling career in Toronto as a shop assistant for his uncle, Albert Britnell, whose former book shop (now a Starbucks) is adjacent to HarperCollins’ Canadian office. 1932 William Collins, Sons & Co. (Canada) Ltd. is incorporated on September 27. 1941 Publication of Hugh MacLennan’s Barometer Rising. 1942 Collins establishes the White Circle Pocket Editions imprint, which reprints successful British, American, and Canadian titles in cheap paperback editions. In October, The Globe and Mail notes, “Canadian-made reprints of books of proved popularity mean a long step forward in local publishing. Among other things it involves the inclusion of Canadian books as we do not find these appearing often in imported reprints. The literary level of the White Circle books is generally high. They are neatly made and it is a pleasure to encounter old friends.” Between 1942 and 1952, Collins publishes 459 editions by 142 authors under the White Circle imprint. Publication of Grace Campbell’s Thorn-Apple Tree. 1943 Collins begins designing its own covers for the White Circle imprint (the initial 50 books featured text- only covers). The primary designer—and one of the few women to work in paperback publishing at this time—is Margaret Paull, who joined Collins in 1943 and retired in 1985. Paull was recommended for the job by her former mentor at the Ontario College of Art, Franklin Carmichael, who was famously the youngest member of the Group of Seven, and an occasional cover designer at Collins (Carmichael contributed illustrations to Grace Campbell’s Thorn-Apple Tree and The Higher Hill, as well as overseeing design and layout of a number of titles in this era). Between 1943 and 1947 Paull creates 67 covers for the White Circle imprint. John D. Robins’ The Incomplete Anglers wins the Governor General’s Award for Non-Fiction. 1944 Publication of Grace Campbell’s The Higher Hill. Due to the international success of Thorn-Apple Tree, expectations for Campbell’s second novel are high. However, the book almost isn’t completed after tragedy strikes early in the year, when Campbell’s twin sons in the RCAF are killed within a month of each other. Collins managing director Franklin F. Appleton spends the summer gently prompting his author for chapters and completed proofs, and in the fall he announces an initial print run of 10,000 copies in time to catch the Christmas rush. 1945 Hugh MacLennan’s Two Solitudes wins the Governor General’s Award for Fiction. 1947 The White Circle imprint begins using photo covers for its books. This was unique in Canada at the time. Franklin F. Appleton retires as managing director of William Collins, Sons & Co. The Globe and Mail notes, “Mr. Appleton not only expanded Collins’ import business in a spectacular way but, being a thorough Canadian, he turned the concern into a Canadian house. Seventy-three per cent of all Collins books sold in Canada are now made here, and the export business from Toronto is substantial. Mr. Appleton’s importance lies in the fact that he loved publishing more than profits, though Canada has seen no shrewder salesman. To a natural talent for publishing, Mr. Appleton added friendliness, fairness and integrity. He never misrepresented a book.” C.H. Sweeny and R. Ross Taylor become managing directors. 1948 The Collins office and warehouse relocate to 53 Avenue Road in Toronto. [CATCH PHOTO] Hugh MacLennan’s The Precipice wins the Governor General’s Award for Fiction. 1949 Hugh MacLennan’s Cross-Country wins the Governor General’s Award for Non-Fiction. 1951 Franklin F.

[CATCH PHOTO OF STAMP] 1966 The office and warehouse relocate to a new building at 100 Lesmill Road in Don Mills on property formerly owned by Canadian business tycoon and breeder of thoroughbred race horses E. P. Taylor. The property had previously been used to stable some of Taylor’s stock. 1977 William Collins, Sons & Co. Ltd announces a successful $50,000 bid for Canadian rights to John Fowles’Daniel Martin. According to The Globe and Mail, “this is the first time Canadian rights for an international book have been negotiated separately from Commonwealth rights, and shows an increasing importance of Canada as a market.” 1989 William Collins merges with Harper & Row. Former literary agents Nancy and Stanley Colbert are contracted to manage newly created HarperCollins Publishers Ltd (the Canadian publishing program) and HarperCollins Canada (the distribution business). The office relocate to 55 Avenue Road, next door to the building occupied by William Collins between 1948 and 1966. 1992 Phyllis Bruce establishes her Canadian-focused imprint Phyllis Bruce Books, which publishes fiction and non-fiction from authors across the country. 1993 Publication of Timothy Findley’s Headhunter, a #1 national bestseller.

  • Behind the “Powderworks”: Hannah Josephson and the Tin Flute
    192CanLitSpring2007-6 3/22/07 3:29 PM Page 111 Agnes Whitfield Behind the “Powderworks”: Hannah Josephson and The Tin Flute Some time in the fall of 1946, when she was working on the English translation of Bonheur d’occasion for the New York publisher Reynal and Hitchcock, the version which would also be published in Toronto by McClelland & Stewart, the American translator Hannah Josephson com- mitted an unfortunate mistake. She was almost halfway through the book. The young heroine, Florentine, her thoughts full of Jean Lévesque, has just heard Emmanuel Létourneau’s declaration of love and wiped his kiss off her lips. Eugène, her brother, has enrolled in the army; her father, Azarius, is out of work. Her little brother Daniel’s illness is quickly worsening. Fore- shadowing the increasingly dramatic tensions of the novel, the start of the next chapter is marked by the fierce squalls of the close of winter: La fin de l’hiver s’entourait de nuages et de soudaines rafales. Tôt cet après-midi, des nuées basses s’étaient amassées sur le versant sud de la montagne et les vents avaient chargé le bas quartier. Vers huit heures du soir, la poudrerie se déchaîna. Les volets disjoints battaient; on entendait parfois comme une déchirure de zinc au toit des maisons; les arbres noirs se tordaient avec des craquements secs au coeur de leur tronc noueux; les vents crépitaient sous des poignées de grenade. Et la neige continuait à tourbil- lonner . (Roy 1945 197, my emphasis) Guided by European French usage, or simply unaware that “poudrerie” is the Quebec word for snowstorm, Josephson translated the portentous phrase, “la poudrerie se déchaîna” by “the powderworks exploded”: Canadian Literature / Spring 192CanLitSpring2007-6 3/22/07 3:29 PM Page 112 Hannah Josephson The winter was coming to an end in overcast skies and sudden squalls.

  • Writing Here1
    WRITING HERE1 W.H. NEW n 2003, for the BC Federation of Writers, Susan Musgrave assembled a collection of new fiction and poetry from some fifty-two IBC writers, called The FED Anthology.2 Included in this anthology is a story by Carol Matthews called “Living in ascii,” which begins with a woman recording her husband’s annoyance at whatever he sees as stupidity (noisy traffic and inaccurate grammar, for instance, and the loss of his own words when his computer apparently swallows them). This woman then tells of going to a party, of the shifting (and sometimes divisive) relationships among all the women who were attending, and of the subjects they discussed. These included a rape trial, national survival, men, cliffs, courage, cormorant nests, and endangered species. After reflecting on the etymology of the word “egg” (and its connection with the word “edge”), she then declares her impatience with schisms and losses, and her wish to recover something whole. The story closes this way: “If I were to tell the true story, I would write it not in words but in symbols, [like an] ... ascii printout. It would be very short and very true. It would go like this: moon, woman, woman; man, bird, sun; heart, heart, heart, heart, heart; rock, scissors, paper. The title would be egg. That would be the whole story.”3 This egg is the prologue to my comments here. So is the list of disparate nouns – or only seemingly disparate, in that (by collecting them as she does) the narrator connects them into story.

I open with a history of the trope of deformity and a theory on its applicability to questions of the nation in Canadian fiction. Bonnie Burnard’s A Good House begins the literary analysis and considers how Daphne’s asymmetrical face exemplifies the novel’s overarching deformation of the domestic realist text.
