About This Item
Toronto / Buffalo / London: University of Toronto Press, 1984. Scholarly study of director Grierson, founder of the National Film Board, who offered his services to the Canadian government during World War Two; a self-proclaimed propagandist, he aimed to educate rather than indoctrinate, promoting inspiration and internationalism rather than nationalism. After the war, his objectives worked against the pragmatism of the King government, and after becoming tainted by an unproven connection to a spy scandal, his career ended. Hardcover in jacket, as pictured. Light wear to book, hint of bumping to corners. Text clean; [xiii], [4 b/w plates], 329 pages; index, notes, appendix, b/w plates. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Large Octavo.
