Summary "Laurier: A Study in Canadian Politics" by J. W. Dafoe is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the life and political career of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who became the Prime Minister of Canada and is considered one of the country's most prominent political figures. Dafoe explores Laurier's rise to power, the significant events during his premiership, and his contributions to Canadian politics, particularly in relation to issues surrounding the French-Canadian community and the British Empire. The opening of the text provides context about Laurier's beginnings and the early moments of his political journey. It discusses how Laurier, initially perceived as a figure of little consequence in the political sphere, experienced a resurgence in public life due to the Riel Rebellion, which shifted opinions and favor towards him in Quebec. The narrative outlines his ascent to leadership within the Liberal Party and illustrates the political dynamics at play during his early years in parliament, as well as the influences he faced from both allies and adversaries. This section sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Laurier's policies and their impact on Canadian society throughout his long political career. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
