Abstract: | In the last decade of his life, Harry Johnson (1923–1977) wrote a number of autobiographical pieces. He published three relating to his periods in Cambridge (1946–47 and 1949–55), but he did not publish two long autobiographical notes and a series of memoirs of his undergraduate career at the University of Toronto (1939–43), his first teaching job as the entire economics department at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia (1943–44) and his later period in England (1966–74). This material provides a number of clues as to the way Harry wished to be remembered and the paper develops some of the strongest autobiographical themes common to them. |
