The Many Lives of William Lyon Mackenzie King
ISBN: 9781527504882 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. W. L. Mackenzie King (1874-1950) was Canada's longest-serving, best-known and certainly most unusual prime minister. The keeper of a famous series of candid personal diaries, he is a gift to the biographer. King did not live long enough to write his planned memoirs, and his official biography remains long unfinished. As a result, some 24 biographies of him have been published, with different purposes and from different perspectives. They are a study in extreme contrasts. This is a critical collective history of those works, published between 1922 and 2014.

It traces the origins and near demise of Presbyterianism in Nova Scotia and the development of Saint David's from its beginnings as a new congregation and...
