Autorenporträt
Duncan Campbell Scott (1862-1947) was a Canadian poet and civil servant whose literary work is recognized for its profound representation of the Canadian landscape and profound engagement with themes of nature, Indigenous peoples, and colonialism. With a career spanning the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Scott is noted for his contributions to the Confederation Poets, a group that played a pivotal role in the development of Canadian poetry. His 1916 collection 'Lundy's Lane, and Other Poems' captures the historical and nationalistic spirit of Canada, echoing the valor and the struggles of the War of 1812 through its titular piece, 'Lundy's Lane,' a reference to one of the war's most significant battles. Scott's literary style weaves a rich tapestry of both the beautiful and the melancholic, often contrasted against the backdrop of a changing Canadian society. Aside from 'Lundy's Lane,' his body of work includes collections such as 'The Circle of Affection and Other Pieces in Prose and Verse' and 'New World Lyrics and Ballads.' Although Scott's legacy as a poet remains notable, his role as a federal civil servant, specifically his controversial policies affecting Indigenous people in Canada, has sparked considerable debate, tempering his literary achievements with a recognition of his complex and contentious historical impact. His literary style intertwines narrative lyricism and Astructural innovation, offering a textured and reflective portrayal of the Canadian experience at the turn of the century.
