STEPHEN LEACOCK MEDAL FOR HUMOUR STEPHEN BUTLER LEACOCK Stephen Leacock (1869-1944) was an internationally popular Canadian humorist, educator, lecturer, and author of more than 30 books of lighthearted sketches and essays. Close friends, colleagues and supporters of Stephen Leacock established Leacock Associates in 1946 as a means of honoring him. The Association set up a collection of books, letters and personal items in the Orillia Public Library in Toronto, commissioned a bronze bust of Leacock, and established a memorial Medal to be awarded annually for the best book of humour written by a Canadian. The winners of that medal and their books are as follows. (The title for the 1995 winner is our favorite.)

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.

STEPHEN LEACOCK: HUMOUR AND HUMANITY Gerald Lynch. 197pp., cloth, $24.95. ISBN 0-7735-0652-7. CIP. Subject Headings: Leacock, Stephen, 1869-1944-Criticism and interpretation. Grades 12 and up / Ages 17 and up Reviewed by Alan Thomas. Volume 17 Number 3 1989 May Gerald Lynch approaches Canada's well-loved satirist through an exposition of the political and literary stance of a man he describes as a "kindly tory humorist and humanist." Lynch uses these terms as he takes the reader through Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town and Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich (both McClelland and Stewart, 1989), indicating the controlling pattern of ideas. In the flctional world of Mariposa an ideal of community is expressed: continuity of the existing society is the ultimate value, the evident meaning of "tory," In Plutoria, an opposite and false ideology of money-making and individual success at the expense of the community prevails. The setting-out of these ideas and of Leacock's theory of humour, which Lynch flnds to be kindly, usefully suggests something of the climate of thought in Canada on the eve of World War I. An objection might be made to the term "humanist," plucked from its Renaissance context and used by Lynch, one feels, to take the curse off "tory": it evidently expresses Leacock's genial interest in a humanity neither wholly good nor wholly bad.

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 two 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.

The Balance of Trade in Impressions FOR some years past a rising tide of lecturers and literary men from England has washed upon the shores of our North American continent. The purpose of each one of them is to make a new discovery of America. They come over to us travelling in great simplicity, and they return in the ducal suite of the Aquitania. They carry away with them their impressions of America, and when they reach England they sell them. This export of impressions has now been going on so long that the balance of trade in impressions is all disturbed. There is no doubt that the Americans and Canadians have been too generous in this matter of giving away impressions. We emit them with the careless ease of a glow worm, and like the glow-worm ask for nothing in return. But this irregular and one-sided traffic has now assumed such great proportions that we are compelled to ask whether it is right to First Page Next Page Last Page Read ... Titles Menu

54. THE MAN IN ASBESTOS An Allegory Of The Future By Stephen B The popular humorist, Stephen B. Leacock (18691944) first published The Man inAsbestos in 1911, one in a collection of stories he called Nonsense Novels http://colophon.com/foolscap/asbes.html

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.

ENGLISH 354 CANADIAN LITERATURE TO 1920 Instructor: P. St. Pierre FALL 2005 Sunny Steve and the Silent Screen: Slapstick Performative in Stephen Leacock and Silent Movies This multimedia course examines slapstick performative in the early fiction of Stephen Leacock (1869-1944) from the first phase of his literary career, in the 1910s, coinciding with the middle decade of the silent film era (1895-1927, and beyond). Leacock's fiction, set in Edwardian-Georgian Canada, satirizes parochial social and political manners and issues of men's power and authority within the paradigm of capitalism. Diegetically, Leacock's comedic or comic performative derives from the fiction of Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, and others. Mimetically, however, his comedic derives from contemporaneous silent film dramaturgy, specifically the slapstick comedy of Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and others. The course, which examines performance parallels between Leacock's early fiction and silent film, comprises lectures and film screenings. Films will include, featuring Chaplin, Cruel, Cruel Love
