Write a review
Sir Daniel Wilson was the first teacher of history and English literature at the University of Toronto. Educator, administrator, ethnologist, man of letters, and antiquarian, Wilson is perhaps the best Canadian example of the well-rounded nineteenth-century scholar. His career, explored here in ten essays, paralleled the rise to authority in Victorian Canada of both science and educational institutions.
This book is an exhaustive look at the life and career of one of the last century's most interesting and accomplished educators. Widely admired in his own day, Wilson has been largely forgotten. This collection reappraises his contribution to many fields of endeavour and to the development of the University of Toronto. As well as his own life and work, the authors examine aspects of Victorian culture and science through the prism of the career of this most interesting and accomplished educator. The volume also includes a chronology of Wilson's life and a comprehensive bibliography of his published and unpublished writings.
