ABSTRACT Archibald MacMechan’s regular column in the Montreal Standard entitled “The Dean’s Window” (1906–1933) is an important index to educated antimodernist literary values. MacMechan brought his reading of world literature into his appraisals of the Canadian scene, through his groundbreaking work, Headwaters of Canadian Literature(1924). In a 1912 “Dean’s Window” column, MacMechan, a published poet, opened with a poem of his own, “The Ballade of Canadian Literature,” which anticipated F.R. Scott’s “The Canadian Authors Meet”—itself a seminal work of early Canadian modernism. By no means binaries, the degree to which modernism and antimodernism could resemble each other is manifest in MacMechan’s and Scott’s poems, even though Scott’s poem eviscerates the Canadian Authors Association, an organization of which MacMechan was a founding member.

加拿大早期现代主义中的反现代主义前身：阿奇博尔德麦克梅肯的“加拿大文学叙事曲”和 FR 斯科特的“加拿大作家见面”

摘要 Archibald MacMechan 在蒙特利尔标准中的定期专栏“院长之窗”（1906-1933）是受过教育的反现代主义文学价值观的重要指标。麦克梅肯通过他开创性的作品《加拿大文学的源头》（1924 年），将他对世界文学的阅读带入了他对加拿大场景的评价中。在 1912 年的“院长之窗”专栏中，已出版诗人麦克梅肯以他自己的一首诗“加拿大文学之歌”开篇，该诗预示着 FR 斯科特的“加拿大作家见面”——这本身就是加拿大早期现代主义的开创性作品. 绝不是二元论，现代主义和反现代主义可以彼此相似的程度在麦克梅肯和斯科特的诗中体现出来，尽管斯科特的诗剔除了加拿大作家协会，麦克梅肯是该组织的创始成员。
