Title
A Study of the Poetry of Irving Layton
Abstract
The author focuses on the English Montreal poets of the 1930s, 40s and 50s, and of Irving Layton's involvement in the poetic modernist movement of this era. The author examines the phases of Layton's growth and development as a poet, and the eightfold phases of his vision, including his early poetry of the 1930s; the poetry of the 1940s and Layton's involvement with the First Statement and the Northern Review little magazines; the poetry of the 1950s and Layton's association with Contact Press; Layton's two phases of satirical and meditative poetry of the intensive middle 1950s; Layton's poetry and prefaces of the late 1950s and the consolidation of his body of work; and Layton's writing during the early and the late 1960s.
