| Summary: | This essay examines the early life writing and poetry of Miriam
Waddington with the goal of contributing to a reevaluation of
second wave Canadian modernism. More specifically, it uses
journals, unpublished poems, and Waddington’s Master’s thesis
(in Social Work) as a means of contextualizing the “inner
underground life” of a writer who is both Jewish and female. In
doing so, this essay has two purposes: the first is to offer an
account of the material relevant to this study found in the early
unpublished material in the Waddington Papers held in Library
and Archives Canada, and second, to explore female subjectivity
in both the unpublished life writing and in Green World. |
