Two Solitudes Part II

In Part I I discussed the new edition of Canadian author Hugh MacLennan's Two Solitudes from McGill-Queen's University Press. One of the editions discussed in the introduction is a 1951 abridgement done for the high school market. Not discussed is another abridgement from 1945. Omnibook Magazine was an American digest in which four current books were abridged. Interestingly they were authorized and in the "Author's Own Words." I estimate 75% to 80% has been cut.



Omnibook Magazine Vol 7 #4, March 1945
