Responding with magnificent independence to inherited values and tastes, and with radical novelty to the future, varieties of modernism anxiously express both the ends of the Enlightenment and the beginnings of Postmodernism, and thus the feeling of a crisis that continues to haunt contemporary life. Modernity in Canada, stretching from the turn of the century to the 1950s, is a period marked by unprecedented urban and industrial growth, by urban and rural immigration from around the world, and by unique changes in power between regions, classes, races, and sexes. At the same time it is a period profoundly aware of the colonial past and its persistence, for good or ill, in the fragile economy and volatile culture of a new nation. 606 $aCanadian fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aModernism (Literature)$zCanada 615 0$aCanadian fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 676 $a813/.509112 700 $aWillmott$b Glenn$f1963-$01466285 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783754903321 996 $aUnreal country$93736617 997 $aUNINA
