Scope and content
Professor Goudge's addresses and writings were noted for their lucidity, and he was frequently approached to write book reviews, which often appeared as review articles, and articles for scholarly journals. Some of his writings also appeared as chapters in books, and he wrote two books, The Thought of C. S. Peirce (1950), which was reissued in paperback 1969, and The Ascent of Life: a philosophical study of the theory of evolution (1961) which won him the 1961 Governor-General's Literary Award for non-fiction. In 1966, it appeared in Dutch as De wijsgerige aspecten van de evolutie.
The files in this series contain notes and covering correspondence relating to and drafts of articles and chapters of his books. Drafts of his books, except for a proof copy of The Thought of C. S. Peirce, are not to be found here, though there is correspondence relating to their publications, reviews, and files on royalties paid.
