β¦ Synopsis
The book that marked the first appearance in the United States of Robertson Davies' mischievous alter ego, Samuel Marchbanks, is now available as an eBook for the first time.
In 1942, two years after returning to Canada from Britain, Robertson Davies took up the role of editor of the Peterborough Examiner. During his tenure as editor at the Examiner, a post he held until 1955, and later as publisher of the newspaper (1955β65), Davies published witty, curmudgeonly, mischievous, and fiercely individualistic editorials under the name of his alter ego, Samuel Marchbanks, "one of the choice and master spirits of his age."
In this single volume, first published in 1985, the "gentle headwaiter to Marchbanks' splendid banquet" has edited and selected from his alter ego's observations to bring together previous titles in the Marchbanks bibliography: The Diary (1947), The Table Talk (1949), and Samuel Marchbanks' Almanack (1967).
