About this product
Product Information
This book examines the extraordinary life of Frank "Toronto" Prewett and the history of trauma, literary expression, and the power of self-representation after WWI. Joy Porter sheds new light on how the First World War affected the Canadian poet, and how war-induced trauma or "shell-shock" caused him to pretend to be an indigenous North American. Porter investigates his influence of, and acceptance by, some of the most significant literary figures of the time, including Siegfried Sassoon, Edmund Blunden, Wilfred Owen and Robert Graves.In doing so, Porter skillfully connects a number of historiographies that usually exist in isolation from one another and rarely meet. By bringing together a history of the WWI era, early twentieth century history, Native American history, the history of literature, and the history of class Porter expertly crafts a valuable contribution to the field.

Reviews
A brilliant account of Prewett's remarkable and intriguing story which opens many questions about identity and belonging, about power and manipulation in the creation of public reputation, and about the fatal risk of losing yourself to what other people want you to be, Buried alive in April 1918, during the massive German offensive on the Western front, Frank Prewett clawed his way back to life and to poetry. He breathed the war into his verse and into his fragmented post-war identities. This book provides a poignant portrait of a life lived in the shadow of the trenches and marked indelibly by the performative language of shell shock., Joy Porter's Primitivism uses the little-known Canadian poet, Frank Prewett, as a means to explore the experience and aftermath of the First War from a refreshingly different perspective. It's especially fascinating to learn more about the remarkable W.H. Rivers and his colleague Henry Head, figures well-known to admirers of Pat Barker's Regeneration trilogy. Well researched and thoughtfully written, Porter's book enlarges our understanding of the work done by Rivers and his team at Craiglockhart, while it adds much intriguing new detail to the larger social world in which the handsome Prewett played an intriguingly ambivalent role

Product as advertised. Very quick shipping. Only minor complaint was I ordered two items from the same place and one had tracking information, the other did not, and I’m still waiting on detail on one of the items that was shipped at the same time as this one. Would purchase from seller again.
