The Making of Modern Poetry in Canada gathers together primary literary documents including manifestos, reviews, critical essays, and recollections to illustrate the most significant developments in the rise of modernist English Canadian poetry.
Rather than present exclusively academic criticism, the editors have carefully selected original texts by the principal figures of modernism to offer readers a behind-the-scenes look at twentieth-century poetry in Canada. Collecting several decades of writings by luminaries beginning with pivotal essays by John Sutherland and A.J.M. Smith, and including pieces by George Bowering, Northrop Frye, Irving Layton, P.K. Page, F.R. Scott, Raymond Souster, and William Carlos Williams, this volume also provides explanatory notes to guide the reader and to evaluate the significance of each piece in its literary and historical context.
This classic work of Canadian literary studies is now back in print with a substantial new introduction and appendices by Michael Gnarowski, who explains and interprets the essence of key initiatives in the unfolding of a modernist point of view. The Making of Modern Poetry in Canada offers a comprehensive chronological path from the earliest examples of Canadian modernism to the beginning of the postmodern period.
LOUIS DUDEK (1918-2001), OC, was a noted poet, literary critic, and publisher who was actively involved in the modernist initiative in Canada. Dudek's career was spent at McGill University from which he retired as Greenshields Professor in the Department of English.
MICHAEL GNAROWSKI is professor emeritus in the English Department of Carleton University. He has lectured on Canadian modernism in Canadian, American, and European universities. He was founding vice-president of Carleton University Press and served as general editor of the Carleton Library Series.
