Frederick George Scott (1861-1944), poet, Anglican priest and W.W. 1 Chaplain, is often dismissed as a minor "versifier" and listed as an also-ran to the official "Confederation Poets". Scott's poet- ry was, though, in many ways more diverse and more personal, perhaps due in part to his military experi- ence. Scott joined the armed forces when he was fifty-four years old. He was dedicated to the First Canadian Division and moved up the line along with the ground forces. His son Henry was killed at the Somme and in Scott's published memoirs of the war, he tells of going back to the battlefield after the fighting had qui- etened to find his son's body. An- other son, Frank Scott, became a lawyer and a much better known poet, political activist, and literary critic.

  • Frederick George Scott - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Frederick George Scott - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Frederick George Scott(7 April 1861 – 19 January 1944) Frederick George Scott was a Canadian poet and author, known as the Poet of the Laurentians. He is sometimes associated with Canada's Confederation Poets, a group that included <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/sir-charles-gd- roberts/">Charles G.D. Roberts</a> , <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/bliss-william-carman/">Bliss William Carman</a>, <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/archibald- lampman/">Archibald Lampman</a>, and <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/duncan-campbell-scott/"> Duncan Campbell Scott</a> . Scott published 13 books of Christian and patriotic poetry. Scott was a British imperialist who wrote many hymns to the British Empire—eulogizing his country's roles in the Boer Wars and World War I. Many of his poems use the natural world symbolically to convey deeper spiritual meaning. Frederick George Scott was the father of poet F. R. Scott. <b>Life</b> Frederick George Scott was born 7 April 1861 in Montreal, Canada. He received a B.A. from Bishop's College, Lennoxville, Quebec, in 1881, and an M.A. in 1884. He studied theology at King's College, London in 1882, but was refused ordination in the Anglican Church of Canada for his Anglo-Catholic beliefs. In 1884 he became a deacon. In 1886 he was ordained an Anglican priest at Coggeshall, Essex. He served first at Drummondville, Quebec, and then in Quebec City, where he became rector of St.

Hierophants of Decadence: Bliss Carman and Arthur Symons Rita Dirks Ambrose University Canada has never produced a major man of letters whose work gave a violent shock to the sensibilities of Puritans. There was some worry about Carman, who had certain qualities of the fin de siècle poet, but how mildly he expressed his queer longings! (E. K. Brown) Decadence came to Canada softly, almost imperceptibly, in the 1880s, when the Confederation poet Bliss Carman published his first poems and met the English chronicler and leading poet of Decadence, Arthur Symons. The event of Decadence has gone largely unnoticed in Canada; there is no equivalent to David Weir’s Decadent Culture in the United States: Art and Literature Against the American Grain (2008), as perhaps has been the fate of Decadence elsewhere. As a literary movement it has been, until a recent slew of publications on British Decadence, relegated to a transitional or threshold period. As Jason David Hall and Alex Murray write: ‘It is common practice to read [...] decadence as an interstitial moment in literary history, the initial “falling away” from high Victorian literary values and forms before the bona fide novelty of modernism asserted itself’.1 This article is, in part, an attempt to bring Canadian Decadence into focus out of its liminal state/space, and to establish Bliss Carman as the representative Canadian Decadent.

Of the 628,000 Canadians who enlisted in the military, about 425,ooo went overseas.

The task of a biographer is a challenging one at best. And when the subject is one who has achieved distinction in many fields the difficulties are magnified many times. Better, perhaps, to settle for a Festschift where colleagues and friends in fields in which the subject has excelled join together to pay their separate tributes. So in the case of Frank Scott and his biographer, Sandra Djwa. She is a professor of literature and has achieved recognition for the work she has done on the writings and life of E.J. Pratt. It was undoubtedly Frank Scott, the distinguished Canadian poet, who originally became the focus of her attraction. But ER. Scott was also distinguished as a creative political thinker, an expert in constitutional law, an active exponent of human rights, and a Canadian nationalist who, looking ahead, could say: "the world is my country." Sandra Djwa was aware of this and felt that Frank Scott should receive wider recognition.

  • Classical Canadian Poetry and the Public Muse
    CLASSICAL CANADIAN POETRY AND THE PUBLIC MUSE Norman Newton EfVERYBOD, Y SEEMS то BELIEVE that classical Canadian poetry is mediocre; the question is not whether, but why. Various explanations have been advanced. At times this mediocrity has even been treated as its chief quality, an expression of the national virtues of sobriety and reasonableness. In this article, I propose to look into one aspect of the mediocrity of classical Cana- dian poetry, and to offer some explanations of my own, in the hope of stimulating discussion. "Mediocre" means "of middling quality", not "bad". There is no doubt that some classical Canadian poetry is quite bad. But what we have, it seems, is a poetic landscape mediocre in the best sense, possessing few outstanding features, but rich in pleasant fields and wooded hills. Indeed, when one considers English and French poetry together, one discovers a body of work which is surprisingly solid for a country with so short a literary history and, until recently, so small a population. It compares very favourably with that produced over the same period of time by countries with much older literary traditions — nineteenth- century Spain, for example. Nevertheless, it is, even if in the best sense of the word, mediocre. One may apply to the Canadian poetic tradition the judgment Lampman applied, with great good sense, to himself: "There never was any great poet, but simply a rather superior minor one who sometimes hit upon a thing which comes uncommonly near to being very excellent." Canadian poetry is also distinctive. Nothing better indicates a national identity than the fact that our traditional French and English poets, in spite of mutual ignorance, had a great deal in common.
