His recent translation of and commentary on the poem of Empedocles (Toronto, 1992) is already a standard work equally appreciated by both students and seasoned scholars.

Born in 1946 Jane Jenson is an active political scientist whose contributions have shown great originality. Obtaining her Ph.D. in 1974, she was one of a team whose repeated panel studies of class and region in political choice in Canada were widely published. More recently she has edited and written books and papers on gender and the state, contemporary Canadian politics, and French politics. Most noteworthy have been her book and articles, written with Professor George Ross, on French communism. These outstanding studies, based on first-hand experience, have been widely applauded for their originality, combining theoretical sophistication with keen insight into the lives and roles of the party members with whom she worked. A professor at Carleton University, she has also at various times been connected with Wellesley, Tufts, and Harvard, where she is an associate of the Center for European Studies, and, at present, MacKenzie King Professor of Canadian Studies.

His continuing work promises equally distinguished and informative studies for the future.

But he has made especially his own the field of quantitative testing of relationships between inflation and unemployment in Canada.
