This Dissertation may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Serious Play: Alden Nowlan, Leo Ferrari, Gwendolyn MacEwen, and their Flat Earth Society by David Eso B.A., University of British Columbia, 2004 M.A., University of Calgary, 2015 Supervisory Committee Iain Higgins, English Supervisor Eric Miller, English Departmental Member Heather Dean, UVic Libraries Outside Member Neil Besner, University of Winnipeg Additional Member iii Abstract This dissertation concerns the satirical Flat Earth Society (FES) founded at Fredericton, New Brunswick in November 1970. The essay’s successive chapters examine the lives and literary works of three understudied authors who held leadership positions in this critically unserious, fringe society: FES Symposiarch Alden Nowlan; the Society’s President Leo Ferrari; and its First Vice-President Gwendolyn MacEwen. Therefore, my project constitutes an act of recovery and reconstruction, bringing to light cultural work and literary connections that have largely faded from view. Chapters show how certain literary writings by Nowlan, Ferrari, or MacEwen directly or indirectly relate to their involvement with FES, making the Society an important part of their cultural work rather than a mere entertainment, distraction, or hoax.

  • Toward a National Theatre: the Canada Council, 1957-1982
    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting througli an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

The Umbrella Sun 5:00-5:30 p.m., 3 Apr-26 Jun 1966 Sun 5:00-5:30 p.m., 9 Oct-18 Dec 1966 An adventurous program on the arts, The Umbrella brought some of the articulate cultural commentary that had previously been the territory of CBC radio to the television network. It was essentially the successor to Show On Shows (q.v.), which included features by some of the same contributors and which was also produced by John Kennedy. The host of The Umbrella was William Ronald, the painter who had achieved recognition for his abstracts, as a member of the Toronto group, Painters Eleven, in the 1950s, and whose status grew through the l960s. The show's announcer and Ronald's on-camera colleague was Lloyd Robertson. The first show, perhaps typically, centred on Ronald himself; he talked about his own work to art students. Subsequent programs moved to wider, different subjects, both local and international in focus. In the first month, for example, Ronald presented his interview with the legendary artist Marcel Duchamp, filmed in New York, and a program on the burgeoning cultural scene in London, Ontario, and interviews with painters Greg Curnoe and Jack Chambers, and with writer James Reaney. Subjects included the visual, literary, and performing arts, and regular contributors included Rita Greer Allen, Barry Callaghan, and Timothy Findley.
