Reviews
Ian Ross Robertson:
'Stephen Leacock is enjoying a new vogue among Canadian historians, as he is being recognized as a pivotal figure in British-Canadian intellectual history. Alan Bowker has collected in this volume essays by Leacock on imperialism, education, prohibition, feminism, and the morality of social Darwinism, as well as a short book, all appearing between 1907 and 1920. ...
This carefully-chosen selection is a welcome addition to the growing body of literature on Canadian social and political thought.'
