Between Tradition and Counter-Tradition: The Poems of A.J.M. Smith and F.R. Scott in The Canadian Mercury (1928-29)
|
Abstract |
In December 1928, Montreal poets Frank Scott (1899-1985), A.J.M. Smith (1902-1980) and Leo Kennedy (1907-2000) launched The Canadian Mercury as a monthly journal of literature and opinion. The magazine published seven issues and is credited as the birthplace of Canadian modernist poetry. The author recounts how the contents of The Canadian Mercury, especially the poems of Smith and Scott, embodied the struggle where an emerging strain of vitalizing modernism attempted to counter a prevailing strain of late Canadian Romanticism.
