Bound by Three Oceans: Reading, Writing, Printing and Publishing in Canada since Confederation Ruth-Ellen St. Onge, Janet Friskney, and Myra Tawfik This special issue of the Papers represents a coming together of the Canadian Association for the Study of Book Culture (CASBC) and The Bibliographical Society of Canada (BSC) in recognition of Canada’s sesquicentennial of 2017. The co-editors of this issue, as well as the two aforementioned societies, gratefully acknowledge the support of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada for the aid the agency provided to this special issue, and to offsetting the costs that were associated with the special joint day of the two societies, “Canada 150: Bound by Three Oceans: Reading, Writing, Printing and Publishing in Canada since Confederation,” held 30 May 2017 at Ryerson University. When CASBC and BSC began planning for their 2017 annual conferences in the late spring and early summer of 2016, one immediate question for both societies was whether to address the sesquicentennial in their programming. Indeed, they were encouraged to think in this direction since both societies were planning to meet as part of the annual Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences, and the broad conference theme for the year was “The Next 150: Far and Wide,” containing an obvious invocation of Canada’s 150th anniversary as well as a key phrase from the national anthem. Given that the two societies had an established history of co-sponsored panels at Congress, the idea of a full day of co-programming quickly emerged. Discussion turned to holding a day-long scholarly exchange designed to highlight scholarship offering fresh insights into aspects of Canadian bibliography, print culture, and book history that have occurred within Canada’s borders since 1867. The call for papers posed the following questions: (1) How has Canada’s unique history — informed by two official languages, the forces of colonialism, imperialism, and the looming presence of our neighbours to the south — shaped domestic print production and distribution from 1867 to the present day, or, in turn, been shaped by it? (2) How have printers, publishers, literary institutions, authors, and readers 194 Papers of the Bibliographical Society of Canada 55/2 emerged within, influenced, and reacted to the Canadian context since 1867? What challenges did they face as they created, facilitated, nurtured, and responded to written works authored and/or published in Canada? What challenges do they continue to face? And, (3) What histories of print and of the book — reflecting the multiplicity of ethnic, religious, racial, linguistic, regional, and cultural communities of Canada — are yet to be revealed, studied, or celebrated? In order to give consideration to the future as well as the past at this special Canada 150 joint day, the co-organizers also included a special bilingual “publishers’ panel” as part of the proceedings. Comprised of members of the present-day book publishing trade in Canada, the panel facilitated an exchange with and among practitioners over the present circumstances and future directions of the Canadian book publishing industry. Given the title “The Lovely Treachery of Canadian Book Publishing: Current Circumstances, Future Directions,” the panel included the following individuals from the Canadian publishing industry: Peggy Burns from the Montreal- based comics and graphic novel publisher Drawn & Quarterly; Kirk Howard from the trade publisher Dundurn Press; Marc Leslie Lefebvre from the self-publishing platform Kobo Writing Life; Geoffrey Little from the newly established and scholarly University of Concordia Press; Lisa Quinn from the recently restructured Wilfrid Laurier University Press; and Rodney Saint-Éloi from the independent literary publisher Mémoire d’encrier. The publishers reflected on how they are influenced by models from the past, and how they viewed themselves in the context of the
