About this product

Product Information

Canadian cultural icon Stephen Leacock was as wise and witty as he was prolific, and as sharp as he was humane. An author, professor of political economy, and social critic, Leacock has long been considered Canada's foremost humorist and social satirist. He was at his best in observational humour but excelled as well in the unforgettable aphorism and the pointed riposte. Leacock's views on life provide a Canadian take on the world, an ironic perspective which continues to delight and instruct readers around the globe. Introduced and compiled by scholar and writer Gerald Lynch, with material gleaned from Leacock's approximately 60 books of fiction and non-fiction, this is an anthology of Leacock's wit and wisdom, beginning with his memorable preface to Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town and ending with his bitter-sweet essay, Three Score and Ten . With selections classified under 45 headings and a reference key sourcing all quotations, this collection makes available Leacock's views on such subjects as: Canadian politics, love, education, economics, humour, technology, business, America, and writing, among other topics.
