(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Edward Dickinson Blodgett was a Canadian poet, literary critic, and translator who won the Governor General's Award for poetry in 1996 for his collection Apostrophes: Woman at a Piano . Biography Born in Philadelphia and educated at Rutgers University, E. D. Blodgett emigrated to Canada in 1966 to work as a literature professor at the University of Alberta. With his book, Configuration and other articles Blodgett became instrumental in promoting Comparative Canadian Literature and extending the binary model of the Sherbrooke School of Comparative Canadian Literature begun by Ronald Sutherland with Second Image: Comparative Studies in Quebec/Canadian Literature . Because of his knowledge of different languages and literatures Blodgett was able to be more inclusive in his study of Canadian authors from different backgrounds beyond the English and the French. This pluralistic approach is evident in his Five-Part Invention which deals with many ethnic minority writers in Canada.
