The Making of Modern Poetry in Canada: Essential Articles in Contemporary Canadian Poetry in English
Abstract
The editors gathers together primary literary documents including manifestos, reviews, critical essays, and recollections to illustrate the most significant developments in the rise modernist English Canadian poetry. They selected original texts by the principal figures of modernism to offer readers a behind-the-scenes look at twentieth-century poetry in Canada. Collecting several decades of writings by luminaries beginning with pivotal essays by John Sutherland and A.J.M. Smith, and including George Bowering, Northop Frye, Irving Layton, P.K. Page, F.R. Scott, Raymond Souster, and William Carlos Williams, the editors provides explanatory notes to guide the reader and to evaluate the significance of each in its literary and historical context.
