"a widening of the northern coterie":The Cross-Border Cultural Politics of Ezra Pound, Marshall McLuhan, and Louis Dudek
From: The Canadian Modernists Meet
$2.25
There is no better measure of the ambiguity surrounding Canadian modernism than the fact that the only uncontested understanding shared by critics on the matter is an almost universal familiarity with the postmodernist position that we did not have any modernism in Canada: that, according to Robert Kroetsch, our literature evolved from E.J. Pratt’s late Victorian aesthetic to parodic postmodernism, and that, according to George Bowering, Canadian modernism began and ended with Sheila Watson’s The Double Hook.
