My Remarkable Uncle (1941); 3. The Struggle to Make Us Gentlemen (1941); 4. My Education and What I Think of It Now (1944); 5. Looking Back on College (1936); 6. On the Need for a Quiet College (1938); 7. Andrew Macphail (1938); 8. How Much Does Language Change? (1938); 9. From the Ridiculous to the Sublime (1935); 10. What Is Left of Adam Smith? (1935); 11. Through a Glass Darkly (1936); 12. So This Is Winnipeg (1937); 13. The Land of Dreams (1937); 14. I'll Stay in Canada (1936) In the last decade of his life, Leacock turned to writing informal essays that blended humour with a conversational style and ripened wisdom to address the issues he cared about most - education, literature, economics, Canada and its place in the world - and to confront the joys and sorrows of his own life. With an introduction that sets them in the context of his life, thoughts, and times, these essays reveal a passionate, intellegent, personal Leacock, against a backdrop of Depression and war, finding hope and conveying the timeless message that only the human spirit can bring social justice |
