Abstract
This paper on Vorticism and Futurism in Canadian literature explores three specific examples of Wyndham Lewis’s influence on Canadian authors and begins the process of proposing a Canadian Vorticism. The authors under consideration include Marshall McLuhan, Sheila Watson, and Bertram Brooker – three of Canada’s most acclaimed figures in cultural theory, novels, and art, respectively.
