Autor

Francis Sherman (1871-1926) was a Canadian poet, often regarded as a precursor to the high modernists in his exploration of symbol and myth. Born in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Sherman rejected the more widely trod paths of his time, instead paving his own marked by a lyrical intensity and a deep engagement with the pastoral. His 1896 collection 'Matins,' along with other works such as 'In Memorabilia Mortis' (1896) and 'A Canadian Calendar: XII Lyrics' (1900), demonstrated his conscious effort to craft a distinctly Canadian poetic voice. While 'Matins' carries Sherman's signature blend of religious imagery and natural landscapes, it also underscores his struggles between faith and doubt, emblematic of the fin de siècle anxieties. Often included in anthologies of Canadian poetry, Sherman's work dwells in a liminal space between Victorian formalism and the burgeoning modernist aesthetic. Though his literary career was brief, his impact on Canadian letters has been underscored by scholarly attention to his lyrical treatments of local landscapes and complex spirituality. Much of his work is characterized by an intricate use of meter and traditional forms, signaling a burgeoning transition in Canadian literature and foreshadowing the modernist innovations that would later dominate the twentieth century.
