Description

This book studies the professionalization of history in English Canada from the late nineteenth century to the early 1960s. Among its topics are the masculinization of history (that is, the deliberate exclusion of women from the profession) and the amateurization of history (that is, the self-conscious effort to erect boundaries between who could and could not practice history). In addition, this book studies the relationship between historians and American granting agencies.
