  • Descrição: A comparison of Canadian and Australian literary modernism, then, makes sense and indeed is timely, since the last decade has seen a considerable interest in modernism among scholars of Australian literature.1 This work, along with scholarship in cognate fields such as art history, architecture, and area studies, has explored the ways in which writers and artists can be understood as giving expression to the encounter with modernity, not as mainstream literary criticism for many years represented it- with reference points that were largely Anglo- and Euro- American- but rather modernity in its postcolonial specificity, including its inextricable links with the project of articulating the nation and various associated leftist political goals. If it is as difficult for critics and historians as it is for authors and readers to step outside these circuits, the process of comparative analysis does offer the possibility of more easily grasping the historical contingencies which have shaped such circuits, and thereby discovering in their points of overlap and divergence how these differently emplaced modernities have the power to transform our understanding of modernism's heterogeneity as it is articulated around the globe.
