Works cited -- Contributors -- Index. 520 $a "In 1914, Ezra Pound and Wyndham Lewis--the founders of Vorticism--undertook an unprecedented analysis of the present, its technologies, communication, politics, and architecture. The essays in Counterblasting Canada trace the influence of Vorticism on Marshall McLuhan and Canadian Modernism. Building on the initial accomplishment of Blast, McLuhan's subsequent Counterblast, and the network of artistic and intellectual relationships that flourished in Canadian Vorticism, the contributors offer groundbreaking examinations of postwar Canadian literary culture, particularly the legacies of Sheila and Wilfred Watson. Intended primarily for scholars of literature and communications, Counterblasting Canada explores a crucial and long-overlooked strand in Canadian cultural and literary history. Contributors: Gregory Betts, Adam Hammond, Dean Irvine, Elena Lamberti, Philip Monk, Linda Morra, Kristine Smitka, Leon Surette, Paul Tiessen, Adam Welch, Darren Wershler."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 600 10 $a McLuhan, Marshall, $d 1911-1980. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80126329 600 10 $a Lewis, Wyndham, $d 1882-1957. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79058744 600 10 $a Watson, Wilfred, $d 1911-1998. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n83319219 600 10 $a Watson, Sheila, $d 1909-1998. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n85052811 600 17 $a Lewis, Wyndham, $d 1882-1957. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00036177 600 17 $a McLuhan, Marshall, $d 1911-1980. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00061566 600 17 $a Watson, Sheila, $d 1909-1998. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01720595 600 17 $a Watson, Wilfred, $d 1911-1998. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01717901 650 0 $a Canadian literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008100041 650 0 $a Vorticism $z Canada. 650 0 $a Art and literature $z Canada. 650 0 $a Modernism (Literature) $z Canada. 651 0 $a Canada $x Intellectual life $y 20th century. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh87001732 650 7 $a Art and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815400 650 7 $a Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975769 650 7 $a Modernism (Literature) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01024455 650 7 $a Vorticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01169209 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 700 1 $a Hjartarson, Paul Ivar, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n85359431 700 1 $a Betts, Gregory Brian, $d 1975- $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2001092906 700 1 $a Smitka, Kristine, $d 1982- $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2016093152 776 1 $t Counterblasting Canada. $w (CaOONL)20169012050 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217023006.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C2A47F7E065511E8AD8CF06897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
