OISE Press, 1980. Based on Galloway's University of Toronto Ph. D. dissertation. Out of print, but can be found in some libraries.

Her examination of forty-two senior courses in eight Ontario schools reveals that the literary diet being offered to students is inappropriate for Canadian life and times.
