Title |
Three Critics in Search of a Modern and National Poetry: A.J.M. Smith, John Sutherland and Louis Dudek
|
Abstract |
The author argues that one theme which united the literary criticism of Montreal poets A.J.M. Smith (1902-1980), John Sutherland (1919-1956) and Louis Dudek (1918-2001) was their attempt to balance the claims of poetic Modernism and nationalism. He contends that Smith tended to emphasize the "modern", Sutherland the "national", and Dudek to achieve a degree of synthesis of this opposition. The author asses the motives and accomplishments of each as critics within a larger context and focuses upon their prose writing (to a virtual exclusion of their poetry), their historical and social situations (Smith in the late 1920s, Sutherland in the 1940s, and Dudek in the 1950s), and their sources.
