Wilfred Watson (May 1, 1911 – March 25, 1998) was professor emeritus of English at Canada's University of Alberta for many years.
He was also an experimental Canadian poet and dramatist, whose innovative plays had a considerable influence in the 1960s.
The Dictionary of Literary Biography (DLB) says that "Watson ushered in an avant-garde in Canadian theater years before the rear guard had fully emerged."
