The Canadian Modernist Meet
Dean Irvine (Ed.)
The Canadian Modernist Meet is a collection of new critical essays on major and rediscovered Canadian writers of the early to mid-twentieth century. F.R. Scott's well-known poem 'The Canadian Authors Meet' sets the theme for the volume: a revisiting of English Canada's formative movements in modernist poetry, fiction, and drama. As did Scott's poem, Dean Irvine's collection raises questions - about modernism and antimodernism, nationalism and antinationalism, gender and class, originality and influence - that remain central to contemporary research on early to mid-twentieth-century English Canadian literature.
Subjects: Literary Criticism, History, Sociology/Cultural Studies
The Canadian Modernists Meet is the first gathering of its kind: a meeting of literary critics, textual editors, biographers, literary historians, and art historians whose collective research contributes to the study of modernism in Canada.
