Sommario/riassunto

"Michiel Horn's new book accentuates the changing nature of academic freedom in English Canada and provides essential background to today's discussions. Based on extensive archival research in more than twenty universities across Canada and in six public archives, the book locates the idea of academic freedom in its institutional and social



contexts and traces its conflict-ridden evolution from 1860 to the present."--Jacket.
