About this book

Vaughan's analysis of Haldane's legal philosophy and its impact on the Canadian constitution concludes that his Hegelian legacy is very much alive in today's Supreme Court of Canada and that it continues to shape the constitution and the lives of Canadians since the adoption of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Reviews

Stephen Azzi:
‘Viscount Haldane is a meticulous examination of Haldane’s role in reworking Canadian federalism and of Hagel’s influence on Haldane’s jurisprudence… A thought-provoking biography.’

Jennifer Smith, Department of Political Science, Dalhousie University:
'Frederick Vaughan's deeply interesting biography of Viscount Haldane combines a fascinating account of the man's upbringing and personal life with an accessible depiction of his philosophic views and political achievements. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.'
