PROJECT OVERVIEW

Hugh MacLennan (1907-1990) is one of Canada�s most important 20th century
writers. His professional writing career spanned fifty years and included the
publication of seven novels, three works of non-fiction and three collections of
essays. As a major literary figure in Canada his novels Barometer Rising, Two
Solitudes and The Watch that Ends the Night are considered to be Canadian
classics. From 1951 to 1980, Hugh MacLennan was a faculty member in the English
Department at McGill University. The Rare Books and Special Collections
Division, is one of two major repositories of MacLennan�s papers. McGill�s
holdings include his correspondence spanning sixty years, key manuscripts and
numerous clippings and photographs. At present, the current web site provides
students and researchers with access to a searchable list of the McGill holdings
and the MacLennan correspondence including a name index. Future plans for this
site include the addition of the full texts of selected manuscripts and
correspondence.
