He was educated at the universities of Toronto and Chicago. From 1908 to 1936 he taught at McGill University. Leacock wrote several books on political science and economics and the biographies Mark Twain (1932) and Charles Dickens (1933). He is best known for his essays, parodies, and short stories, in which he strikes a vein of burlesque and satiric nonsense that is unique in modern humorous writing. His humour is based on the incongruity between appearance and reality in human conduct. Among such works are Literary Lapses (1910), Nonsense Novels (1911), Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich (1914), and Moonbeams from the Larger Lunacy (1915).

THE MAN IN ASBESTOS An Allegory of the Future by Stephen B. Leacock In this futurist story written by the popular Canadian humorist Stephen B. Leacock (1869-1944) there are observations of human nature which are as refreshing today as when they were written in 1911. Leacock describes a world where the inhabitants are clad in long-wearing suits of asbestos; where death has been eliminated, although a person can be broken; and where only a vestigial memory of Work remains, anything requiring effort was accomplished centuries ago - in short, a perfect world. This utopia is illustrated in this edition by photo-engravings of drawings by Jan Vredeman de Vries, the Dutch architect, painter, and engraver of the 16th century. His drawings show us a perfectly ordered world and serve as a flawless backdrop to Leacock's future world. Additionally, photo-engravings of drawings by Peggy Gotthold have been made to describe the character of the Man in Asbestos. From the Introduction The Edition This, the premiere edition of Foolscap Press, was designed, printed, and bound by Peggy Gotthold and Lawrence G. Van Velzer and is limited to 150 copies. The book is 48 pages, 6 5/8 x 9 inches oblong and is printed letterpress on Mohawk Superfine paper on a Hacker Hand Press. The type is set in Monotype San Serif and the books are bound by hand in Japanese cloth over boards.

Stephen Leacock Monarch of Wit 1869-1944 Considered one of the greatest humorists of the English-speaking world, Stephen Leacock, a half century after his death, still ranks among Canada’s most popular writers. His ability to stimulate spontaneous laughter continues to endear him in Canada and abroad, his works having been translated into many languages, including both Chinese and Japanese. Born in Swanmore, England, on December 30, 1869, Leacock came to Canada with his parents when he was six years old. Third of a family of eleven, he was educated at Upper Canada College where he later taught for nine years the modern languages he had studied as an undergraduate at the University of Toronto. At the University of Chicago, he specialized in economics and political science, receiving the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in 1903. That same year he became a lecturer in economics and political science at Montreal’s McGill University. As he had already gained experience as a teacher and, additionally, had a great sense of humour, it is not surprising to learn that Leacock became one of the most popular faculty members at McGill. Within five years of his initial appointment he became a full professor and was the head of the economic and political science department until his retirement in 1936. Stephen Leacock received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. For 33 years he taught economics and plitical science at McGill University.

home anti-feminist atmosphere Stephen Leacock (1869-1944), a famous Canadian writer and humourist, lived and wrote at the same time as Nellie McClung (1873-1951). His attitude towards women and their role was a typical example of the anti-feminist atmosphere against which women like the Famous 5 had to struggle. In October 1915, the same year that Nellie McClung's collection of essays entitled In Times Like These was published, Maclean's magazine published an essay by Leacock entitled, "The Woman Question." It is likely that he wrote this essay as a direct response to Nellie McClung's speeches and writings on the subject of women's suffrage, since he mocks or attempts to refute the very same points that she argues in In Times Like These —most of the chapters of which were given as speeches. As a response to Leacock's essay, Nellie McClung wrote an essay entitled, "Speaking of Women," which was also published by MacLean's magazine in May 1916.

Stephen Leacock Canada 1969. Birth centenary of Stephen Butler Leacock Stephen Butler Leacock was a well known humorist, essayist, teacher, political economist, and historian. The recipient of numerous honorary degrees, awards and distinctions Leacock was the English-speaking world's best-known humorist 1915-25. Leacock's 2 masterpieces are Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town (1912) and Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich (1914). The first humorously anatomizes business, social life, religion, romance and politics in the typical small Canadian town of Mariposa, whose name has attained mythic significance in the Canadian psyche. On the stamp above right is the contours of "Mariposa". Perhaps the greatest creation of Sunshine Sketches is the narrator himself, who, in his affection for and bemusement at the community of Mariposa that he so admirably represents, reveals the essential Leacock. Arcadian Adventures dissects life in an American city with sharper satire, less qualified by the author's affection and pathos. Taken together, these 2 books reveal the imaginative range of Leacock's vision - the nostalgic concern for what is being lost with the passing of human communities and his fear for what may issue. However, Leacock believed that the best humour resides at the highest reaches of literature.
