W. L. Mackenzie King (1874-1950) was Canada’s longest-serving, best-known and certainly most unusual prime minister. The keeper of a famous series of candid personal diaries, he is a gift to the biographer. King did not live long enough to write his planned memoirs, and his official biography remains long unfinished. As a result, some 24 biographies of him have been published, with different purposes and from different perspectives. They are a study in extreme contrasts. This is a critical collective history of those works, published between 1922 and 2014.
Barry Cahill holds an MLitt from the University of Oxford. He is an independent historian based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He has written institutional histories of the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society and the Halifax Relief Commission (set up by the Canadian government in response to the Halifax Disaster of 6 December 1917); and political biographies of James Lorimer Ilsley and Norman McLeod Rogers, both influential members of Mackenzie King’s pre-war and wartime cabinets.
