Seller's Description:
Very good. [12], 372 pages. Illustrations. Index. Fore-edge of front cover has a noticeable ding. Donald Grant Creighton, CC (July 15, 1902-December 19, 1979) was a noted Canadian historian whose major works include The Commercial Empire of the St. Lawrence: 1760-1850, a detailed study on the growth of the English merchant class in relation to the St. Lawrence River in Canada. His biography of John A. Macdonald, published into two parts between 1952 and 1955, was considered by many Canadian historians as reestablishing biographies as a proper form of historical research in Canada. By the 1960s Creighton began to move towards a more general history of Canada. His peers remember a brilliant writer who was a very difficult colleague. He attended Balliol College at Oxford University, where he received his MA before returning to Canada to teach history, at the University of Toronto for his entire career. Award-winning author Donald Creighton was a firm supporter of the British Empire. Canada's First Century paints a large and complex canvas of historical rise and fall: a great transcontinental nation is built, but it is eventually undone as Canada turns its back on the British Empire and embraces a continental role alongside the United States. A courageous and contentious book for its day-Creighton expresses anti-Americanism and was highly critical of Quebec nationalism. The book was met with criticism, but, as Donald Wright points out, Canada's First Century initially outsold Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex and, for a time, even the Bible. Creighton's works taken together demonstrates a larger understanding of Canadian history, his fascination with Canada's role in the Empire, and his major contribution to economics and geography as a key feature of history.
