Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - During the Second World War, a number of young Canadian poets converged on Montreal and, in a few years of little-magazine and small-press publication, rewrote the story of modern English-Canadian poetry. The Montreal Forties establishes a new reading of Canadian modernist poetry in this crucial decade, during which the radical impersonality of high-modernist poetics gave way to an ironic expression of the modern individual in years of unexampled geopolitical and private crisis. The book discusses four major English-Canadian poets of the forties; P.K. Page, A.M. Klein, Irving Layton, and Louis Dudek. The character of the decade's poetry is explored through close scrutiny of the largely unread work published in the little magazines Preview and First Statement, as well as reference to their criticism, correspondence, and journals.

The Montreal Forties allows us for the first time to see artists as diverse as Page and Layton, Klein and Dudek as part of a single Canadian and international generation, and breaks new ground for critics of Canadian modernist poetry.…

Arthur James Marshall Smith (1902 1980) was a prominent member of the Montreal Group of poets, including Leon Edel, Leo Kennedy, A. M. Klein, and F. R. Scott, who distinguished themselves by their modernism in a culture still largely Victorian. Essentially Canadian, his poem The Lonely Land (p. 228) was inspired by a Group of Seven exhibition, while other poems refer to Marshall McLuhan and A Fat Willing Girl of Toronto.…
