LANDMARK PUBLICATION: This is the first comprehensive presentation of Brooker's work in almost half a century, and will be the most complete treatment of his work to date.

GROUP OF SEVEN CONNECTION: Brooker's art criticism helped give early exposure to the Group of Seven, an internationally recognized group of Canadian landscape painters, whom he later exhibited with.

IMPORTANT FIGURE IN CANADIAN ARTS AND MEDIA: Brooker's writing on advertising influenced Marshall McLuhan, and his novel,Think of the Earth, was the first novel to win the Governor General's award for fiction in 1936.
