About this title

Synopsis

Professor Baker recounts and analyses the relations of the English Renaissance historians to other writers of their time and to the historians of later ages. Supported and enlivened with a wealth of quotation from the historians themselves, their critics and their colleagues, The Race of Time illuminates the problems of historiography in an age when academic freedom was always subservient to the national interest, to the sensitivity of rulers, to the prevalence of legends, and to the envy of contemporaries.

His publications include John Philip Kemble, The Dignity of Man, The Wars of Truth, William Hazlitt, and (in collaboration with the late Hyder Rollins) The Renaissance in England.

Illustrated When Reformed Protestants from the Netherlands first settled in the Maritimes around 1950, the American-based Christian Reformed Church, which has Dutch roots, sent so-called home missionaries and fieldmen to the Maritimes to organize the Reformed Protestants into congregations. The financial assistance offered to the immigrant farmers ? and the bulk of them were farmers ? by the government of Nova Scotia, in particular, made this province an attractive place to settle and also drew Dutch immigrant farmers from other parts of Canada, especially Ontario after they had settled there first.
