In it, there is an essay by David Skene-Melvin that deals with the history of Canadian crime fiction, which he divides into … five periods: from the earliest begetters to 1880; 1880-1920; 1920-1940; 1940-1980; and 1980 to the present. He states that the decade 1970-1980 is one of transition in which the genre, as a truly Canadian expression of national consciousness, begins to emerge full bore.«
