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.
