Couverture du Stephen Leacock: Dawn of Canadian History (ePUB)

Stephen Leacock shot to popular acclaim as a humor writer prone to penning absurdist vignettes and other mirthful morsels. However, he was trained as a political economist and spent much of his life working in this and several other academic disciplines. The collaborative volume The Dawn of Canadian History showcases Leacock’s strengths as a scholar and thinker.
