Title
The Role of the Little Magazine in the Development of Modernism and Post-Modernism in Canadian Poetry
Abstract
An investigation of the "little magazine" phenomenon in Canadian literature, beginning with Frank Scott's and A.J.M. Smith's McGill Fortnightly Review in 1925. The author points out that subsequent generations and schools of poets have made their first appearances and they have developed their ideas by producing their own magazines. The author's aim in his study is threefold: to investigate the phenomenon of the little magazine, its role as an essential alternative to commercial publications, and the sociological and aesthetic necessity for its survival; to investigate the progress that has taken place in Canadian poetry in the pages of the little magazine, as well as the evolution of the little magazine itself; in light of the fact that literary Modernism and Post-Modernism have not developed in Canada in isolation, to investigate the influence of European, British, and American poetic development in the twentieth century on Canadian poetry..
