Canadian Bookman and the Origins of Modern Realism in English-Canadian Fiction
|
Abstract |
The author points out the significance of the 1920s in Canadian literary development by examining the forgotten debates about modern writing that occurred in the two most important Canadian literary magazines of the decade: the Canadian Bookman and The Canadian Forum. The founding editor of the Canadian Bookman was the British-born B.K. Sandwell (1876-1954), who moved to Montreal from Toronto in 1904 where he worked for the Montreal Herald until 1911 and then the Montreal Financial Times until 1919, when he became a professor at McGill University. The first issue of the Canadian Bookman appeared in January 1919. The Bookman and the Toronto-based Forum were literary rivals, with the Bookman accused of being little more than the mouth-piece for the Canadian Authors Association.
