Description

Offering fresh insight into the early life of Harold Adams Innis (1894-1952), this volume makes available a number of previously unpublished writings from the renowned Canadian economic historian and media scholar. Part I, Innis's autobiographical memoir, chronicles his farm-based family background, early education, military service during World War I, and the beginnings of what would become a distinguished academic career.

Part II features a selection of correspondence during his military service, revealing both the pain and perceptions derived from that experience, and other war-related writings.

It also includes "The Returned Soldier," a detailed piece of research and a compassionate plea to recognize how the aftermath of the Great War would affect those who served as well as the individuals and institutions on the home front.

Years before the term "post-traumatic stress disorder" was coined, Innis was acutely aware of the condition and suggested ways in which it might be treated.

Other war-related items included are Innis's first published article (dealing with the economics of the solider) and a draft speech composed in the fall of 1918.

All original materials have been extensively annotated to provide context for the contemporary reader and researcher.
