  • Raymond Knister - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Raymond Knister - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Raymond Knister(27 May 1899 – 29 Aug 1932) John Raymond Knister was a Canadian poet, novelist, story writer, columnist, and reviewer, "known primarily for his realistic narratives set in rural Canada. Knister was a highly respected member of the Canadian literary community during the 1920s and early 1930s, and recent criticism has acknowledged him as a pioneer in establishing a distinctively modern voice in Canadian literature. Born at Ruscom (now part of Lakeshore), Ontario, near Windsor, Knister attended Victoria College at the University of Toronto, but had to drop out after catching pneumonia. He worked on his father's farm until 1923. In 1919 Knister began writing and publishing stories and poems about Canadian farm life. He worked in 1922 and 1923 as a book reviewer for the Windsor Border Cities Star and the Detroit Free Press. He moved to Iowa in 1923 to become associate editor of literary magazine The Midland ("the most important magazine America had produced," according to H.L. Mencken) in Iowa City for a year. During the same time he took courses in creative writing at Iowa State University. By 1924 Knister was a taxi driver in Chicago, as well as a reviewer for Poetry magazine and the Chicago Evening Post. "In 1926 he moved to Toronto, where he freelanced; his work appeared in the Toronto Star Weekly and Saturday Night." In Toronto he became acquainted with writers Morley Callaghan, Mazo de la Roche, Merrill Denison, and Charles G.D.

  • DIRECT, HONEST REALISM" the Canadian Novel of the Ig20>S
    SEEKING "DIRECT, HONEST REALISM" The Canadian Novel of the ig20>s E. L. Bobak ΤI HE PERIOD BETWEEN the close of World War I and the crash of the stock markeIHEt in 1929 was a time of far-reaching political and social change in Canadian life. The government was forced to respond to the problems of the returned soldiers, and many believed its response inadequate. Rural dis- enchantment with post-war political leadership caused a major shift in the tradi- tional centres of power from east to west and from industry to agriculture. None- theless, industries and cities continued to grow, fed by cheap immigrant labour, and the industrial labour force demanded higher wages and better working con- ditions. Nineteenth-century reform movements reached a height in the "social passion" of the twenties, and a Communist party was formed in Canada. More- over, Canadian political autonomy was established firmly during the decade and British control over Canadian legislation effectively ended in 1931. Despite these dramatic social changes the dominant form of fiction during the twenties con- tinued to be the rural romance, escapist literature which ignored the contem- porary social situation. Realism, an ideal medium for the objective reporting of social phenomena, had still not made its way into Canadian fiction in the early decades of the twentieth century. Continental literary realists had rebelled in the nineteenth century against the notion that the essence of experience was unknowable because it existed in a reality closed to sense perception. They had chosen to make the commonplace and the ordinary respectable subject matter for the novel.

TALMAN Annual Supplement CANADIAN LITERATURE CHECKLIST, 1967 A QUARTERLY OF CRITICISM AND R€VI€W ABOUT BIOGRAPHIES ONE MARK OF CANADIAN LITERATURE has always been the in- terest of writers in autobiography. Mrs. Brooke, in A History of Emily Montague, though she was writing about fictional people, was not writing of a fictional world. She was giving, quite strenuously, her own emotional and intellectual response to the Canadian scene. Other writers followed her, some in journals revealing the country and their own personalities. Still others made their own personal stories into novels, or what can loosely be termed novels. There are Mrs. Moodie and Mrs. Traill, giving their version of Canada based on personal experience. There is also Ethel Wilson, giving impressions of Vancouver in The Innocent Traveller. The autobiographical element fluctuates with the biographical ; stories are often more than stories, they are frequently based on legends or myths of people who had actually existed in full human form. Canadian writers, interested in their country and its landscape, move frequently into the lives of real people, or often base their fictional world on people who have actually existed.
