Title
Here is Queer : Nationalisms and Sexualities in Contemporary Canadian Literatures
Abstract
Contains a chapter on Patrick Anderson and Scott Symons. The British-born and Oxford-educated poet Patrick Anderson (1915-1979) taught at Montreal's Selwyn House School from 1940 to 1946 and at McGill University between 1948 and 1950. In 1942, Anderson and Frank Scott founded the Montreal-based literary magazine "Preview". In the spring of 1943, John Sutherland (1919-1956), editor of the rival Montreal little magazine "First Statement," published a critique of Patrick Anderson’s poetry. In the critique, Sutherland accused Anderson of being a homosexual. The Toronto-born Symons (1933-2009) was the author of the novel "Place d'Armes" (1967), which dealt directly with homosexuality.
