Toronto: University Of Toronto Press, 1980. This study of the personality of William Lyon MacKenzie King challenges the view that he led 'a double life'. Through a blending of psycho-biography and political analysis, Joy Esberey shows how King's personality traits influenced his political behavior, and how his personal and public life were an integrated whole, neither contradictory nor unrelated. Throughout the book, the author makes extensive use of King's letters and diary, illuminating his personality and showing how, despite his quirks and oddities, he managed to keep himslf in balance. This fresh view of King concludes with a brief description of consistencies and repetitions in his personal and political conduct in his declining years. The author is a member of the Department of Political Science at Scarborough College, University of Toronto. Grey cloth boards. Gilt title print to spine. Staining to top edge of book.
