Title
'Making Literature Hum': Canadian Literary Journalism in the Twenties
Abstract
The history of the short-lived Canadian Bookman magazine, based in Montreal from January 1919 until it re-located to Toronto in December 1921, where it merged with the Canadian Book Trade Journal. The Canadian Bookman's first editor 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 author outlines the relationship between the Canadian Bookman and the Canadian Authors Association, and the Canadian Bookman's rivalry with the Canadian Forum.
