Ernest Buckler

Discover the profound impact of Ernest Buckler on Canadian literature in Marta Dvořak's insightful analysis. Published by Wilfrid Laurier University Press in 2001, this hardback edition spans 287 pages and sheds light on Buckler's significant yet often overlooked contributions to the modern Canadian novel. Renowned author Margaret Atwood hailed Buckler as “one of the pathbreakers for the modern Canadian novel,” yet his work has faded into relative obscurity. Dvořak courageously explores Buckler's lesser-known writings, revealing the formalistic innovations that set his texts apart. This book is an essential read for those interested in literary criticism, Canadian literature, and the evolution of poetic expression from the 20th century onward. Join Dvořak on a journey to rediscover Buckler's legacy and appreciate the richness of his literary contributions.
