I believe this is the complete list of posts on regionalism, “roman de la terre,” “roman du terroir” I have written so far. They are at times repetitive because I do not know whether or not someone has read earlier posts. Maria Chapdelaine was written by Louis Hémon, a Frenchman, or an outsider. However, it is the one novel interested persons should read. Menaud, maître-draveur (a draveur is a river driver taking lumber logs to their destination) is a very poetical novel. 
 
Louis Hémon, the author of Maria Chapdelaine, sees Quebec as eternal. Such hope is not expressed by Félix-Antoine Savard whose 1937 novel, Menaud, maître-draveur, is embedded in Hémon’s Maria Chapdelaine. Foreigners have come… 
 
As you will notice, I did try to give more descriptive titles to older posts, but failed miserably. Fortunately, my cat said: enough!  He’s in charge, so what could I do. Lists were my solution.

List of Posts

This is an updated list of my posts on Quebec. I am now preparing a post on Trente Arpents (Thirty Acres), a novel published in 1938 by Ringuet.  The literature that follows Trente Arpents is about life in cities or small towns.  Trente Arpents reminds me of a typical Balzac novel:  the rise and fall of…  Euchariste Moisan inherits thirty acres, marries, raises a family, but there is a sudden dégringolade.  Everything goes wrong…

Biographical Notes

Regionalism in Quebec Fiction: The Honorable Pierre-Joseph-Olivier Chauveau

This information is available in Wikipedia and in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online, but should have been included at the beginning of my blog.

Pierre-Joseph-Olivier Chauveau (May 30, 1820 – April 4, 1890), born in Charlesbourg, near Quebec City, was

  • the first Premier of the Canadian province of Quebec following the establishment of the Dominion of Canada in 1867;
  • founder of Confederation;
  • a lawyer by profession, and practiced in Quebec City;
  • the co-founder of the  Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste of Quebec City in 1842, a nationalistic society that exists to this day.
  • He was elected to the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada in 1844, and reelected in 1848, 1851, and 1854.
  • He was solicitor-general of Lower Canada, without a seat in cabinet, from 1851 to 1853;
  • From 1855 to 1867, he was superintendent of the bureau of Education.
  • In 1867, he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Quebec in Québec-Comté electoral district and headed a Conservative government as the first Premier of Quebec.
  • He was also the Minister of Education and Provincial Secretary.
  • Also beginning in 1867, he was simultaneously the federal Member of Parliament for the riding of Quebec County (such “double mandates” were abolished in 1874).
  • He was appointed Speaker of the Canadian Senate on February 21, 1873.
  • In 1878, he became professor of Roman law at Université Laval.
  • He was President of the Royal Society of Canada in 1883-1884.
  • He died April 4 in Quebec City in 1890. He had seven children, one of which, Alexandre Chauveau, became a provincial politician in his own right.

Pierre-Joseph-Olivier Chauveau is also the author of:

  • Voyage du Prince de Galles [the Prince of Wales] en Amérique;
  • L’Instruction publique au Canada (Public Education in Canada);[i]
  • F.-X. Garneau, sa vie et ses œuvres (a biography of historian François Xavier Garneau (This life and times of…);
  • L’Abbé Holmes et ses conférences de Notre-Dame (Father Holmes and his Notre-Dame Speeches).

Love to everyone 💕
