Margaret Atwood is probably the best-known modern Canadian author. Other important novelists during and after World War II include Morley Callaghan, Gwethalyn Graham, John Buell, Hugh MacLennan, Mordecai Richler, Malcolm Lowry, Ethel Wilson, Robertson Davies, Brian Moore, Margaret Laurence, Timothy Findlay, Neil Bissoondath, and M. G. Vassanji. Many of their novels have focused attention on Canadian city life, social problems, and the large problem of Canadian cultural division.

Raymond Souster (1921–), Louis Dudek (1918–), and Irving Layton (1912–2006) criticized materialist Canadian society. Using colorful, earthy language, the Romanian-born Layton attacked smugly complacent middle-class morality in The Laughing Rooster (1964) and Periods of the Moon (1967). A selection of his verse was published in 1977. Also important were Patricia K. Page (1916–), interested in psychology, the neoromantic Anne Wilkinson (1910–61), and Miriam Waddington (1917–), who emphasized the beneficence of nature.
