Book excerpt: Within Anglophone North America, the story of French Quebec is one of linguistic and cultural survival. This catalogue of books published in Quebec in French charts the evolution of the province's literary, social, artistic and political culture from 1764-1990. It includes all works published in Quebec, wholly or mainly in French, collected by the British Museum and Library from the 1830s to the present. Titles are listed under broadly-based subject sequences: Volume 1 covers French Quebec's creative and artistic output, as well as its conception of itself, as reflected in its philosophical and psychological works and encounters with other cultures. This second volume includes publications relating to Quebec's social and political institutions, history, social order and geophysical features. An introduction, in English and French, surveys the province's published output, and the history of its acquisition by the British Museum and Library.

Book Canada and the World since 1867

Download or read book Canada and the World since 1867 written by Asa McKercher and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a history of Canada's role in the world as well as the impact of world events on Canada. Starting from the country's quasi-independence from Britain in 1867, its analysis moves through events in Canadian and global history to the present day. Looking at Canada's international relations from the perspective of elite actors and normal people alike, this study draws on original research and the latest work on Canadian international and transnational history to examine Canadians' involvement with a diverse mix of issues, from trade and aid, to war and peace, to human rights and migration. The book traces four inter-connected themes: independence and growing estrangement from Britain; the longstanding and ongoing tensions created by ever-closer relations with the United States; the huge movement of people from around the world into Canada; and the often overlooked but significant range of Canadian contacts with the non-Western world. With an emphasis on the reciprocal nature of Canada's involvement in world affairs, ultimately it is the first work to blend international and transnational approaches to the history of Canadian international relations.

Book The Beginnings of New France 1524 1663

Download or read book The Beginnings of New France 1524 1663 written by Marcel Trudel and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume II of the Canadian Centenary Series Now available as e-books for the first time, the Canadian Centenary Series is a comprehensive nineteen-volume history of the peoples and lands which form Canada. Although the series is designed as a unified whole so that no part of the story is left untold, each volume is complete in itself. French explorers first came to North America in 1524, but it was not until Cartier’s discovery of the St. Lawrence River in 1535 that any attempts at exploration and settlement inland became possible. Even with that, Roberval found it necessary to abandon his attempt at colonization in 1543, and a veil of mystery fell once more over the great river of Canada. Subsequent expeditions were beset by difficulties and defeats arising from the climate, the hostility of the natives, and political and economic conditions in Europe. Finally, early in the next century, French official policy again turned to New France, and a new era of colonization and exploration began. Marcel Trudel has produced an expert and distinguished work, recounting the first years of French exploration and colonization in the New World, a record filled with setbacks, hardships, and frustrations, but also with successes. Throughout his long academic career, the author has devoted himself to research and writing on the history of New France from its beginnings to the 1760s. In this volume, he has been able to call upon all his past work to produce a lucid and exciting account of the earliest journeys in the sixteenth century and the complete history of exploration, settlement, and commerce during the first part of the seventeenth century. Particular attention is given to the relationship between the events in the New World and in Europe, and also to the role of the First Nations peoples who, with their vitally important trade networks, were so closely involved in the history of New France. First published in 1973, Professor Trudel’s important contribution to the Canadian Centenary Series is available here as an e-book for the first time.

Book Theatre in French Canada

Download or read book Theatre in French Canada written by Leonard E. Doucette and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1984-12-15 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is only recently that historians of the theatre in French Canada have turned their attention to playwrights active before the twentieth century. Their practice had been to trace the roots of theatre to mid-1930s, to the appearance of Father Emile Legault and his troupe, the Compagnons de Saint-Laurent, dismissing what had gone before. In this innovative history, Leonard Doucette sets out deal for the first time with all plays that have survived to 1867 and to link them with the evolution of politics, institutions, and culture in French Canada. The study of theatre has often been handicapped also by the outdated practice of defining the literary-cultural history of a nation by identifying the masterpieces produced in specific periods and then defining other works in terms of what they are not. The surprisingly rich and varied history of theatrical forms in French Canada has just begun to receive the attention it deserves from scholars. Some of the texts and authors referred to in this history are identified for the first time: the materials cited and conclusions drawn are based upon original research in major Canadian libraries as well as the works of published critics and historians. The result is an excellent introduction to the various forms theatre has taken and the problems it has encountered in French Canada.

Book Varieties of Spoken French

Download or read book Varieties of Spoken French written by Sylvain Detey and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-14 with total page 595 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the variation found in modern spoken French, based on the research programme 'Phonology of Contemporary French' (Phonologie du Français Contemporain, PFC). Extensive data are drawn from all over the French-speaking world, including Algeria, Canada, Louisiana, Mauritius, and Switzerland. Although the principal focus is on differences in pronunciation, the authors also analyse the spoken language at all levels from sound to meaning. The book is accompanied by a website hosting audio-visual material for teaching purposes, data, and a variety of tools for working with corpora. The first part of the book outlines some key concepts and approaches to the description of spoken French. Chapters in Part II are devoted to the study of individual samples of spoken French from all over the world, covering phonological and grammatical features as well as lexical and cultural aspects. A class-friendly ready-to-use multimedia version of these 17 chapters as well as a full transcription of each extract is provided, with the sound files also available on the book's companion website. Part III looks at inter and intra-speaker variation: it begins with chapters that provide the methodological background to the study of phonological variation using databases, while in the second section, authors present case studies of a number of PFC survey points, including Paris, the Central African Republic, and Québec. Varieties of Spoken French will be an invaluable resource for researchers, teachers, and students of all aspects of French language and linguistics.

  • Publisher : Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press
  • Release : 1989-10-31
  • ISBN : 0889209804
  • Pages : 216 pages

Download or read book The Postwar Novel in Canada written by Rosmarin Heidenreich and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 1989-10-31 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a comparative study which includes the analysis of both English-Canadian and Quebec novels, this book provides an overview of the novel as it has developed in this country since the Second World War. Focusing on narratological rather than thematic elements, the book represents a systematic application of the insights and analytical tools of reader-reception theory, in particular the models proposed by Wolfgang Iser and Hans Robert Jauss. Placing the emphasis on the text and its effects rather than on the historical or psycho-sociological genesis of the text, the author invokes the models and paradigms of other literatures to establish a broader cultural context permitting the significance of a literature to emerge as a carrier of meaning in and beyond the culture that produces it. Tracing a critical path from Hugh MacLennan's hierarchic romance structures and Gabrielle Roy's social realism to the metafictions of Hubert Aquin and Timothy Findley, the author reveals that the novel's narratological features themselves are often closely linked with ideological positions.

Book A Nation Beyond Borders

Download or read book A Nation Beyond Borders written by Michel Bock and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recipient of the 2005 Governor General's Literary Award in non-fiction, Quand la nation débordait les frontières is considered the most comprehensive analysis of Lionel Groulx's work and vision as an intellectual leader of a nationalist school that extended well beyond the borders of Québec. For over five decades, historians and intellectuals have defined the nationalist discourse primarily in territorial terms. In this regard, Groulx has been portrayed—more often than not—as the architect of Québecois nationalism. Translated by Ferdinanda Van Gennip, A Nation Beyond Borders will continue to spark debate on Groulx's description of the parameters of the French-Canadian nation. Highlighting the often neglected role of French-Canadian minorities in his thought, this book presents the Canon as an uncompromising advocate of solidarity between all French-Canadian communities.
