He was educated at the University of British Columbia, the University of Toronto, Berkeley and the University of London, where his primary interests were in Old and Middle English, culminating in a dissertation on Chaucer. Throughout his career he was an experimental poet, publishing over 20 books of verse that vary as widely in form and voice as they do in subject. His poems reveal his constant concern to render his encyclopedic experience - be it of Canada's geographical or cultural reaches, of nature, of travels or of the trials of love by time - into a language marvellously dexterous and supple, always seriously at play.
Birney also had an important career as a teacher of creative writing and literature, and as a playwright, novelist and editor. He taught at several universities, most notably at UBC (1946-65), where he founded and directed the first Canadian creative writing programme. His work led to the establishment at UBC of Canada's first Department of Creative Writing in 1965. In this same year, Birney was appointed as the first writer-in-residence at the University of Toronto. But his greatest contribution has been to 20th century Canadian poetry.

Victoria Grace Blackburn was born in Quebec City April 17, 1865. She attended Hellmuth Ladies' College in London, Ontario. After graduation she worked as a teacher in Faribault, Minnesota and as principal at the Diocesan School of Northern Indiana in Indianapolis. Following her work in education, Blackburn moved to New York to study journalism, theatre and dramatic criticism. In 1896 she returned to London, Ontario and worked for the London Free Press, a newspaper owned by her father, as a literary and dramatic critic. Blackburn became an assistant managing editor in 1918, and worked at the Free Press until her death in 1928.
In addition to her work as a journalist, Victoria Grace Blackburn wrote numerous poems, 2 single-act plays and a novel. Her poetry explores themes such as ill-fated love, varies in form from satire to tragedy, and shows Blackburn's interest in foreign locations for her settings. Blackburn's plays evidence her interest in both personal and social matters. Seal of Confession explores ideas of self-sacrifice through the perspective of a French priest, and The Little Gray shows Blackburn's reflective side as it mocks her own social class and its fascination with fashion and aesthetics. Neither play was officially published, but Blackburn's hand-written scripts are currently held at the Archives and Research Collection Centre at the UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN ONTARIO.
Blackburn's most critically acclaimed work, The Man Child (1930), takes a much more serious tone than her previous works. Published 2 years after her death, the novel follows Jack Winchester, a Canadian boy who leaves London for the trenches of France during WORLD WAR I. The novel extols the virtues of the war volunteers and the Allied armies. It is not a novel praising war, however. Instead, The Man Child celebrates the soldiers and their dedication to the cause. Blackburn plays with form throughout her novel, switching from a traditional narrative structure to an epistolary one as the story moves from London to France. This change in form not only demonstrates Blackburn's skill as a writer, but also mirrors the change in her protagonist as war becomes a personal experience and not just something read about, thousands of miles away.
Victoria Grace Blackburn was one of the founders of London's Women's Canadian Club, and served as its president from 1918-1919. She also served as president of the London Women's Press Club (1921-1923).Victoria Grace Blackburn, journalist, poet, playwright, novelist (b at Quebec City, 17 Apr 1865; d at London, Ont 4 Mar 1928)

The firm was founded on November 20, 1809 by John Blackie, snr, ( 1782-1874 ) in partnership with two friends - Archibald Fullerton and William Somerville. It was known as Blackie, Fullerton & Co . Born in Glasgow, John Blackie, snr, was originally in business as a weaver but was persuaded that money could be made in the 'Numbers Trade'. This was a form of selling sizeable books in monthly or quarterly instalments, by subscription.
By 1811, the firm was already beginning to publish its own books and in 1819, John Blackie, snr, expanded the scope of the business into printing. He took on a practising Glasgow printer, Edward Khull, as a partner and, initially, using Khull's printing works at 8 East Clyde Street, worked with him as Khull, Blackie & Co. The bookselling side of the business continued separately in Edinburgh as Fullerton, Somerville & Co. When Khull retired from the business in 1826 , he took his original printing works with him. In 1827, John Blackie, snr, entered into partnership with Hutchison & Brookman, printers and stereotypers, of Saltmarket, Glasgow. There were four partners: John Blackie, snr, George Brookman, William Lang and R Hutchison.

In 1829 , the Edinburgh and Glasgow companies purchased the firm of Andrew & J M Duncan, printers to the University of Glasgow, at Villafield, between Stanhope Street and Parson Street, close to Glasgow Cathedral, and moved Hutchison & Brookman into the newly acquired premises. Later, the printing premises in Bishopbriggs, north of Glasgow retained the name The Villafield Press. In 1831 , Archibald Fullerton retired from the Edinburgh partnership, renamed Blackie, Fullerton & Co after the retirement of William Somerville in 1821 , and John Blackie, jnr, became a partner with his father. The firm was renamed Blackie & Son . In 1837 , Robert Hutchison retired from the printing business, now working from Bishopbriggs and known at that date as George Brookman & Co, and a new printing business was established under the name W G Blackie & Co. Walter Graham Blackie ( 1816-1906 ) was the second son of John Blackie, snr. Thereafter, all aspects of the business came under the ultimate control of members of the Blackie family. The two companies, Blackie & Son and W G Blackie & Co were eventually amalgamated after Blackie & Son became a public limited company in 1890 , changing its name to Blackie & Sons Ltd .
After the deaths of John Blackie, jnr, in 1873 and John Blackie, snr,in 1874 , responsibility for the company's affairs passed to the two younger sons of John Blackie, snr; Robert and Walter Graham Blackie and eventually to three of their sons; John Alexander Blackie ( 1850-1918 ), the eldest son of W G Blackie, Walter Wilfred Blackie ( 1860-1953 ), the third son of W G Blackie and James R Blackie, the son of Robert Blackie.

By 1909 Blackie & Son Ltd 1909 had offices at 5 Fitzhardinge Street, London, W1 and in Dublin, Ireland. After 1918, the company set up a Scientific and Technical Department, and began to publish advanced scientific and mathematical texts. In 1929 , new printing works, retaining the original name 'The Villafield Press', were built on a 13 acre site in Kirkintilloch Road, Bishopbriggs, Glasgow. During the early years of the twentieth century, overseas subsidiary companies were set up: Blackie & Son (India) Ltd, in 1927; Blackie & Son (Canada) Ltd; and Blackie & Son (Australasia) Ltd, in 1926 . The subscription side of the business was run by a subsidiary company, The Gresham Publishing Co from 1898 (incorporated 1917 ), and this company continued trading until 1948 .

During the second world war, Blackie & Son Ltd used 1/3 of their Bishopbriggs works space for the manufacture of 25 pound shells for the Ministry of Supply. They also undertook some toolmaking for another Glasgow company, William Beardmore & Co Ltd , and, for a short time, produced aircraft radiators.

In 1960 the publishing and administration section of the company moved to join the printing section in Kirkintilloch Road, Bishopbriggs. In 1971, new premises were occupied in Wester Cleddens Road, Bishopbriggs, eventually becoming the headquarters of the company. In the same year another subsidiary company was set up, Abelard Schuman Ltd. Blackie & Son Ltd , ceased publishing in 1991 . Academic and professional titles were acquired by Blackie Academic & Professional (an imprint of Chapman & Hall). School titles were acquired by Nelson (Thomas) & Sons Ltd. Children's Titles were acquired by Blackie's Children's Books.
