Description

This 20th-century literary classic was long co-opted by conservative ideologies that sought to present it as a “model of Canadian literature” and even as a “Catholic masterpiece.” To varying degrees, the numerous editions published until recently repeated the “corrections” that served to perpetuate the myth of a French Canada where “nothing should change.” This edition conforms to that of 1980, established from the original manuscript by Louis Hémon. It includes a foreword, a list of variants, and an index of characters and places.
