Author Information

Garnett Sedgewick (1882 - 1949) was a graduate of Dalhousie and Harvard universities, and the first Head of the Department of English at the University of British Columbia, from 1920 to 1948. He was well-known for his radio talks on all aspects of the humanities, and he played a crucial role in the teaching of the arts across Canada. His dramatic teaching-performances of Shakespeare are now a matter of academic legend, but his scholarship and wit are still to be found in his central book on irony ( Of Irony: Especially in Drama, Ronsdale, 2003 ) which continues to be of value to those interested in all fields of literature.
