Born: March 20, 1907, Grace Bay [Died] November 7, 1990. Montreal. Canadian novelist and essayist. Studied at Oxford University in England as a Rhodes Scholar, and received his doctorate from Princeton University in 1935. Professor of English Literature at McGill University from 1951 to 1963. He made his debut with Barometer Rising (1941), and his second novel, Two Solitudes (1945), quickly established him as a representative British-Canadian writer. He continued to explore the theme of what Canada is in novels such as The Precipice (1948), Each Man's Son (1951), The Watch That Ends the Night (1959), and Return of the Sphinx (1967). The Seven Rivers of Canada (1961) is an excellent historical travelogue. McLennan |
