**Francis Reginald Scott** [CC](/source/Order_of_Canada) [QC](/source/Queen's_Counsel) [FRSC](/source/Fellow_of_the_Royal_Society_of_Canada) [FBA](/source/Fellow_of_the_British_Academy) (August 1, 1899 – January 30, 1985), commonly known as **Frank Scott** or **F. R. Scott**, was a lawyer, Canadian poet, intellectual, and constitutional scholar. He helped found the first Canadian [social democratic](/source/Social_democracy) party, the [Co-operative Commonwealth Federation](/source/Co-operative_Commonwealth_Federation), and its successor, the [New Democratic Party](/source/New_Democratic_Party_(Canada)). He won Canada's top literary prize, the [Governor General's Award](/source/Governor_General's_Award), twice, once for poetry and once for non-fiction. He was married to artist [Marian Dale Scott](/source/Marian_Dale_Scott).

## Life and work

Scott was born on August 1, 1899, in [Quebec City](/source/Quebec_City), the sixth of seven children. His father was [Frederick George Scott](/source/Frederick_George_Scott), "an [Anglican](/source/Anglican) priest, minor poet and staunch advocate of the civilizing tradition of imperial Britain, who instilled in his son a commitment to serve mankind, a love for the regenerative balance of the Laurentian landscape and a firm respect for the social order."[1] He witnessed the riots in the city during the [Conscription Crisis of 1917](/source/Conscription_Crisis_of_1917).

Completing his undergraduate studies at [Bishop's University](/source/Bishop's_University), in [Lennoxville](/source/Lennoxville%2C_Quebec), [Quebec](/source/Quebec), Scott went to [Magdalen College, Oxford](/source/Magdalen_College%2C_Oxford), as a [Rhodes Scholar](/source/Rhodes_Scholarship) and was influenced by the [Christian socialist](/source/Christian_socialism) ideas of [R. H. Tawney](/source/R._H._Tawney) and the [Student Christian Movement](/source/World_Student_Christian_Federation).

Scott returned to Canada, settled in Montreal, studied law at [McGill University](/source/McGill_University), and eventually joined the [law faculty](/source/McGill_University_Faculty_of_Law) as a professor. While at McGill, Scott became a member of the [Montreal Group](/source/Montreal_Group) of [modernist poets](/source/Modernist_poetry), a circle that also included [Leon Edel](/source/Leon_Edel), [John Glassco](/source/John_Glassco), and [A. J. M. Smith](/source/A._J._M._Smith).[2] Scott and Smith became lifelong friends.[1] Scott contributed to the *McGill Daily Literary Supplement*, which Smith edited; when that folded in 1925, he and Smith founded and edited the *McGill Fortnightly Review*. After the *Review* folded, Scott helped found and briefly co-edited *The Canadian Mercury*.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] Scott, assisted by Smith and [Leo Kennedy](/source/Leo_Kennedy), also anonymously edited the modernist poetry anthology *[New Provinces](/source/New_Provinces_(poetry_anthology))* (in which he published ten poems), which was published in 1936.[3]

[Co-operative Commonwealth Federation](/source/Co-operative_Commonwealth_Federation) delegation attending the September 1944 Conference of Commonwealth Labour Parties in [London](/source/London), England. *Pictured from Left to right*: [Clarie Gillis](/source/Clarie_Gillis), MP for [Cape Breton South](/source/Cape_Breton_South_(federal_electoral_district)); [David Lewis](/source/David_Lewis_(Canadian_politician)), National Secretary; [M. J. Coldwell](/source/Major_James_Coldwell), National Leader, MP for [Rosetown—Biggar](/source/Rosetown%E2%80%94Biggar_(federal_electoral_district)); Percy E. Wright, MP for [Melfort](/source/Melfort_(electoral_district)); and Frank Scott, National Chairman.

The [Great Depression](/source/Great_Depression) greatly disturbed Scott; he founded the [League for Social Reconstruction](/source/League_for_Social_Reconstruction) (LSR) with the historian [Frank Underhill](/source/Frank_Underhill) to advocate socialist solutions in a Canadian context. Through the LSR, Scott became an influential figure in the [Canadian socialist](/source/Socialism_in_Canada) movement. He was a founding member of the [Co-operative Commonwealth Federation](/source/Co-operative_Commonwealth_Federation) (CCF) and a contributor to that party's [Regina Manifesto](/source/Regina_Manifesto). He also edited a book advocating *Social Planning for Canada* (1935).[1] In 1943, he co-authored *Make This Your Canada*, which spelled out the CCF national programme, with [David Lewis](/source/David_Lewis_(Canadian_politician)). Scott was elected national chairman of the CCF in 1942, and would serve until 1950.[1]

In March 1942 Scott co-founded a literary magazine, *Preview*, with the Montreal poet [Patrick Anderson](/source/Patrick_Anderson_(poet)). Like the earlier Montreal Group publications, "*Preview*'s orientation was [cosmopolitan](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cosmopolitan); its members looked largely towards the English poets of the 1930s for inspiration."[4]

In 1950–1951, Scott cofounded *Recherches sociales*, a study group concerned with French–English relations. He began translating French-Canadian poetry.[1]

In 1952, he served as a [United Nations](/source/United_Nations) technical assistance resident representative in Burma to help build a socialist state in that country.[1]

During the 1950s, Scott was an active opponent of the [Maurice Duplessis](/source/Maurice_Duplessis) regime in Quebec and went to court to fight the [Padlock Law](/source/Padlock_Law). He also represented Frank Roncarrelli, a [Jehovah's Witness](/source/Jehovah's_Witness), in *[Roncarelli v Duplessis](/source/Roncarelli_v_Duplessis)* all the way to the [Supreme Court of Canada](/source/Supreme_Court_of_Canada), a battle that Duplessis lost.

Scott began translating French-Canadian poetry and published [Anne Hébert](/source/Anne_H%C3%A9bert) and [Saint-Denys Garneau](/source/Saint-Denys_Garneau) in 1962. He edited *Poems of French Canada* (1977), which won the [Canada Council](/source/Canada_Council) prize for translation.

Scott served as dean of law at [McGill University](/source/McGill_University) from 1961 to 1964 and served on the [Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism](/source/Royal_Commission_on_Bilingualism_and_Biculturalism). In 1970. he was offered a seat in the [Senate of Canada](/source/Senate_of_Canada) by [Pierre Trudeau](/source/Pierre_Trudeau). Although he declined the appointment, he supported Trudeau's imposition of the [War Measures Act](/source/War_Measures_Act) during the [October Crisis](/source/October_Crisis) same year.

Scott opposed Quebec's [Bill 22](/source/Bill_22) and [Bill 101](/source/Bill_101), which established the province within its jurisdiction as an officially-unilingual province within an officially-bilingual country.

After his death on January 30, 1985, Scott was interred in [Mount Royal Cemetery](/source/Mount_Royal_Cemetery), Montreal.

### Recognition

Scott won the [1977 Governor General's Award for non-fiction](/source/1977_Governor_General's_Awards) for his *Essays on the Constitution* and the [1981 Governor General's Award for poetry](/source/1981_Governor_General's_Awards) for his *Collected Poems*.[5]

The [Royal Society of Canada](/source/Royal_Society_of_Canada) elected Scott a fellow in 1947 and awarded him its [Lorne Pierce Medal](/source/Lorne_Pierce_Medal) in 1962.[5]

Scott won the [Molson Prize](/source/Molson_Prize) in 1965.[5]

In 1966, Scott received an honorary doctorate from [Sir George Williams University](/source/Sir_George_Williams_University), which later became [Concordia University](/source/Concordia_University).[6]

[Leonard Cohen](/source/Leonard_Cohen) added music to Scott's [villanelle](/source/Villanelle), "A Villanelle for Our Time," and recorded it on his album *[Dear Heather](/source/Dear_Heather)*.

Scott is the subject of a number of critical works, as well as a major biography, *The Politics of the Imagination: A Life of F. R. Scott* by [Sandra Djwa](/source/Sandra_Djwa).
