Au Naturel
The History of Nudism in Canada
Dr. James Woycke spent more than a decade researching the history of Canadian nudism from Newfoundland to Vancouver island, and in the USA. Dr. Woycke, a history professor at the University of Western Ontario, reviewed nearly a century of magazines, records, and correspondence of nudist clubs and organizations. In addition to those thousands of documents, he interviewed dozens of naturists from Canadian and Canadian-American clubs. The result is a fascinating look into the often controversial development of nudism as it challenged Canadian legal and social norms. Several b&w photos illustrate early Canadian nudist parks, their members and leaders.


Editorial Reviews
Woycke's book is the only developed discussion of the history of Canadian nudism available in English. He provides a detailed account of the development of nudist clubs and clothing-optional beaches across Canada. Not a naturist himself, he has no particular agenda, other than to present a scholarly and readable history of non-sexualized social nudity in Canada. The footnotes took up nearly half of the original manuscript, so the publisher decided to place them online free of charge, rather than to include them with the text. "Au Naturel: The History of Nudism in Canada" is on a par with Cec Cinder's "The Nudist Idea" from Ultraviolet Press. Together, they give an accurate and informative portrayal of the quirkly world of nudism in North America.  - Mark Storey

Nude & Natural, Vol. 22, Issue 4
A magnificent contribution to the study of naturism.

The Bulletin (of the American Association for Nude Recreation), Vol. 52, No. 4
Reads like a novel.

From the Publisher
This is one of the few national books about nudism, and the only one in English to focus on its history in one country.
