A Celtic Temperament by Robertson Davies

Robertson Davies (1913-1995) had a remarkable literary career that extended through the entire second half of the 20th century. Chronicling his time as editor of the Peterborough Examiner, his role as the founding master of Massey College and most of all his life as a writer - from the failure of a play in New York to the beginnings of an idea for a novel that would become Fifth Business (1970) - A Celtic Temperament is entertaining and illuminating and a major addition to Davies' body of work.

Robertson Davies was born in the little town of Thamesville, Ontario, in the year 1913. He attended Queen's University's Upper Canada College and Oxford's Balliol College. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, an Honourary Fellow of Balliol College, a Member of the Order of Ontario, and a Companion of the Order of Canada, as well as the first Canadian member of the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters.
