ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Kenneth McNaught was born in Toronto, and educated at Upper Canada College and the University of Toronto, from which he received the degrees of BA, MA, and PH D. He is professor of history at the University of Toronto. Professor McNaught has written many articles and book reviews for historical and political journals, and is co-author of The Winnipeg Strike: 1919. REVIEWS: "A definitive biography that in drama and organization ranks with the best books about the makers of Canada...A Prophet in Politics becomes, at publication, a standard work of Canadian history."--W. A. Deacon, The Globe and Mail (Toronto). "Canadians owe Professor McNaught a surge of gratitude for the portrait he has drawn, and the patient research which has brought together so much valuable material on the life and times of J. S. Woodsworth, in this very readable book."--Wilfrid Eggleston, Queen's Quarterly. "Professor McNaught is unusually qualified by experience, training and outlook to write this remarkable life, since he is an historian who for long resided in Winnipeg, where so many of the formative events in Woodsworth's life took place, and he possesses a sensibility which enables him to penetrate more deeply than could a less sympathetic biographer into the spiritual struggles and inner motivations which made Woodsworth what he was and placed him in that untouchable position he new occupies in our history."--F. R. Scott, Saturday Night. "An illuminating examination of the man Woodsworth and also one of the very best studies yet written of the politics of Canada between the two great wars."--Frank H. Underhill, Canadian Historical Review. "At a time when socialist and labour movements everywhere are in the throes of rethinking their policies, this excellent and well documented biography is of particular interest."--The Economist.
