- History / Biographical
- Martin Cohen was born in 1947 in Montreal, Quebec. He graduated from McGill University in 1968 with a degree in English Literature and then went on to Exeter University to earn his Ph.D. in English Literature in 1972. His thesis was entitled, "The Deluded Heros in the Novels of Evelyn Waugh: A Study of His Functions". While in Britain, Cohen also compiled and published a collection of poetry by Victorian poet Digby Mackworth Dolben. Upon his return to Montreal, Cohen returned to McGill University to earn a Master's in Library Studies in 1975. In 1975, Cohen began his long career in libraries at Concordia University working in various departments there until 1990 when he began working at McGill University. He was also a lecturer and taught the Collections Development course at McGill's then-Graduate School of Library and Information Studies. Cohen was forced to retire from library work due to ill health in 2005. Cohen also published articles on various topics of librarianship. In addition to his work in libraries, Cohen was a proficient translator of poetry and also wrote himself. He spoke English, French, German, Spanish and Italian and also read Latin, Yiddish, Catalan, Portuguese, Dutch, Galician, Romansh, Swedish, Danish and Romanian. Martin Cohen passed away in 2009 in Toronto, Ontario.
