This book presents a rich body of evidence to illustrate the extent to which Canadians have been producing avant-garde art since the start of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetts explores the radical literary ambitions and achievements of three different nodes of avant-garde literary activity: mystical revolutionaries from the 1910s to the 1930s; Surrealists\/Automatists from the 1920s to the 1960s; and Canadian Vorticists from the 1920s to the 1970s. \u003cem\u003eAvant-Garde Canadian Literature\u003c\/em\u003e offers an entrance into the vocabulary of the ongoing and primarily international debate surrounding the idea of avant-gardism, providing readers with a functional vocabulary for discussing some of the most hermetic and yet energetic literature ever produced in this country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"By Gregory Betts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53617700864380,"sku":"9781442696914","price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781442696914.jpg?v=1731031075","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/avant-garde-canadian-literature-1","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
