Publisher Description Oscar Skelton (1878-1941) was a prominent early-twentieth century scholar who became a civil servant and political advisor to prime ministers Mackenzie King and R.B. Bennett. He wrote a number of important books and one, Socialism: A Critical Analysis, was highly praised by Vladimir Lenin. His wife, Isabel Skelton (1877-1956), wrote extensively about literature and history; she was the first historian to treat women from the countrys past individually in their own right rather than as a generalized category. Both husband and wife promoted the idea that Canada was an independent nation that no longer needed Britains tutelage.Terry Crowley has written a unique double biography that examines the lives of Isabel and Oscar, their works, and their careers. He shows how both individuals in their own way influenced the development of Canada as a nation state. Crowley questions why, when both Isabel and Oscar wrote influential works, Oscars career blossomed, while Isabel remains virtually unrecognized. He concludes that despite Isabels literary accomplishments, her life remained enmeshed in domestic and family roles, while Oscars rise to prominence was facilitated by male scholarly and publishing networks as well as the support that women provided to mens careers. This book traces the lives of two people who rejected British colonialism and hailed a new nation on the worlds stage, examining the intersections of gender, nationality, and literary expression at a significant juncture in Canadas history. Author Biography Terry Crowley is a professor of HIstory at the University of Guelph. Among his previous books, Agnes Macphail and the Politics of Equality won the W.C. Good Writing Award of the Rural Learning Association.
