In the 1930s, the exciting urban environment of Montreal provided
the perfect venue for a varied group of people who came together to
form a kind of “salon” in the turmoil of the Great Depression.
For ten years, these friends and acquaintances met each week at the
home of the artist John Lyman. They saw themselves as “modern,”
a part of the avant-garde that was then busily changing the world.
These Canadian modernists supported left-wing causes, advocated a
more stable social order, and heralded a more inclusive culture.
More than anything, they searched for a way in which their lives
wouldhave meaning. In The Last Ulysseans, Molly Pulver Ungar
describes this dynamic group’s private and public activities of
the group from the beginning of the Great Depression through the
outbreak of the Spanish Civil War to the final years of the 1930s.
In face of the ominous certainty of another war in Europe, these
individuals reached a new understanding of what it meant to live a
modern, meaningful life. Their conscious pursuit of new directions
in outlook, attitude, and lifestyle influenced many of the changes
in post-war North American society.
