About this book
Joseph Howe's pride in Nova Scotia gives this political biography its starting point. W. L. Grant introduces a speaker and editor who celebrates the province's orchards, fisheries and tides, then links that local attachment to the work of bringing scattered communities into a shared public life. Travel, newspapers and political discussion emerge as practical forces in that process.
The account also follows the friction between colonial governors and elected representatives. In the passages on Lord Falkland, official dispatches become weapons in a dispute over reputation, authority and the right to answer accusations. Grant draws on Howe's speeches and public letters, alongside earlier biographical work and records identified in his preface. Those extended voices give readers a close view of political argument in nineteenth-century Nova Scotia, including Howe's forceful rhetoric and the constitutional concerns behind it.
