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."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aCanadian literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aVorticism$zCanada 607 $aCanada$xIntellectual life$y20th century 607 $aCanada$2fast 610 $aLiterary History/Cultural History. 615 0$aCanadian literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aVorticism 676 $a810.9/0054 702 $aBetts$b Gregory Brian$f1975- 702 $aHjartarson$b Paul Ivar 702 $aSmitka$b Kristine$f1982- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813814703321 996 $aCounter-blasting Canada$94032159 997 $aUNINA
