Confederation Poets

The Confederation Poets were a group of Canadian writers active around the late 19th and early 20th centuries who helped shape Canada's national identity through poetry. Key members include Charles G.D. Roberts, Archibald Lampman, Bliss Carman, and Duncan Campbell Scott. Their work often reflected Canada's landscape, culture, and sense of nationhood, emphasizing themes like nature, patriotism, and everyday life. Though not formally a movement, their collective influence celebrated Canada's emerging independence and cultural development during the country's early years of confederation.
