Lorsque, rassemblant ses souvenirs, Félix-Antoine Savard écrit : « J’aurai vécu dès ma jeunesse dans le royaume des enchantements » (Journal et souvenirs, 2 : 67), c’est à ses expéditions et ses séjours en forêt qu’il songe. Depuis longtemps disparu s, ceux qui l’on initié à la vie des bois, son père et ses guides sous les arbres, parmi les rumeurs de l’eau et du vent. D’autres ont célébré nos splendides forêts; personne ne l’a fait de façon aussi intense, aussi puissamment imagée et de tant de manières. Si Menaud, maître-draveur fait pénétrer le lecteur dans une forêt souffrante, tragique même, son auteur peut aussi, comme il le fait en 1950 devant les...

This unique study explores how Quebec's landscapes have been represented in both literature and visual art throughout the centuries, from the writing of early explorers such as Cartier and Champlain to work by prominent contemporary authors and artists from the province. William J. Berg traces recurrent images and themes within these creations through the most significant periods in the development of a Quebecois identity that was threatened initially by the wilderness and indigenous populations, and later by the dominance of British and American influences. Focusing on the interplay between nature and culture in landscape representation, Literature and Painting in Quebec contends that both have reflected and fashioned the meaning of French-Canadian nationhood. As such, Literature and Painting in Quebec presents a new perspective to approach the notion of national identity, a quest that few groups have engaged in more persistently than the Quebecois.

What determines the focus of a researcher's interest, the sources of inspiration for a study, or the variables scrutinized? If we were to examine the antecedents of these decisions, they would surely emerge as accidents of circumstance--the personal experiences of the researcher, the inspiration of early mentors, the influence of contemporary colleagues--all tempered by the intellectual currents that nurture the researcher's hypotheses. Among the accidents that mold the careers of researchers is geographic location. The culture in which a research program emerges helps determine both its very subject and its method. The primary purpose of this book is to assist those interested in the scient...
