Synopsis

This book maps the development of Canadian poetry from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century, discussing in detail the work of fifty of the era's leading poets including prominent figures such as Charles Sangster, Archibald Lampman, Duncan Campbell Scott and Bliss Carman. The author positions their work within the context of broader national and international literary and socio-political developments of the time. The book delves into how these Canadian poets reimagined classical forms and themes, exploring their treatment of nature, their embrace of the unique character of the Canadian landscape and their role in shaping the national identity. The author discusses how as Canada emerged from British colonialism, these poets began to create a distinct Canadian aesthetic, with an emphasis on the country's vast landscape and isolated communities, and how their work bridged the gap between European and North American poetic traditions.
