Bennett. He wrote a number of important books and one, Socialism: A Critical Analysis, was 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 Canada's 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 no longer in need of Britain's 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, Oscar's career blossomed, while Isabel remained virtually unrecognized. He concludes that despite her literary accomplishments, Isabel was enmeshed in domestic and family duties, while Oscar's rise to prominence was facilitated by male scholarly and publishing networks as well as the support that women provided to men's careers. This book traces the lives of two people who rejected British colonialism and hailed a new nation on the world's stage, examining the intersections of gender, nationality, and literary expression at a significant juncture in Canada's history."--Jacket. 410 0$aStudies in gender and history. 606 $aHistorians$zCanada$vBiography 606 $aWomen historians |z$zCanada$vBiography 606 $aMarried people |z$zCanada$vBiography 607 $aCanada$xOfficials and employees$vBiography 607 $aCanada$xHistory$y1914-1945$vBiography 615 0$aHistorians 615 0$aWomen historians |z 615 0$aMarried people |z 676 $a971.062/0922 700 $aCrowley$b Terence Allan$f1946-$01628958 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824677203321 996 $aMarriage of minds$93966386 997 $aUNINA
