Beyond Wilderness- The Group of Seven, Canadian Identity and Contemporary Art

Beyond Wilderness expands the public understanding of Canadian landscape representation, tracing debates about the place of landscape in Canadian art and the national imagination through the twentieth century to the present. Critical writings from both contemporary and historically significant curators, historians, feminists, media theorists, and cultural critics and exactingly reproduced artworks by contemporary and historical artists are brought together in productive dialogue. Beyond Wilderness explains why landscape art in Canada had to be reinvented, and what forms the reinventions took. 

A new preface to this second addition assesses the impact the book has had on criticism about landscape art in the decade since its first publication and how the discourse on landscape has splintered, and what forms the reinvention took.
