La double vie littéraire de Louis Fréchette
Louis Fréchette! Ce nom fait partie de l’inconscient collectif des Québécois: on l’a donné à des rues, des écoles, des bibliothèques... Nous savons tous qu’il est une gloire d’un temps révolu, mais le souvenir de ses oeuvres et des hauts faits de sa carrière nous est aujourd’hui quasi inconnu. Jean Claude Germain s’attaque à cet oubli, en même temps qu’il met en valeur l’apport inestimable de Fréchette à notre littérature. Le concept de «double vie» décrit bien les directions diamétralement opposées que Fréchette a insufflées à son oeuvre. D’une part, il a été un écrivain au profil classique consacré par l’institution littéraire de son temps, ta...

My Dearest Wife
The private and public lives of James David Edgar and Matilda Ridout Edgar symbolized the increasingly complex nature of Toronto society as older generations gradually gave way to a new generation of "outsiders" seeking fame and prominence. James David Edgar (1841-1899), a self-made man, born to proud though impoverished Scottish-immigrant parents in Quebec, became a lawyer, an author, a railway promoter, an M.P. and ultimately speaker of the House of Commons in Ottawa. Matilda Ridout Edgar (1845-1910) was one of Canada’s first widely respected female historians and ultimately president of the National Council of Women of Canada from 1906 until her death. This dual biography, revealed through the voices of James and Matilda, as expressed through correspondence, provides insights into 19th-century Canadian history, and presents a mutually supportive marital relationship, each encouraging professional fulfillment for the other – a stance surprising in this era of male dominance.

Reading Nelligan
Émile Nelligan (1879–1941) wrote all of his poetry as an adolescent, before spending four decades in a psychiatric asylum. Considering all of Nelligan's work and using a largely textual approach, Émile Talbot points out the Canadian roots of Nelligan's originality. He argues that these are discernable despite Nelligan's use of the discourse of nineteenth-century continental French poetry, particularly that of the Parnassians and the Decadents. Talbot's textual analysis is integrated with a consideration of the social, cultural, artistic, and religious climate of both late nineteenth-century Montreal and the European literary culture to which Nelligan was responding. Talbot considers such pertinent factors as the spirituality of guilt, the role of the mother, and a societal context that rejected both the revelation of the self and the autonomy of art. In doing so he sheds new light on Nelligan's use of European poetic language to fashion a poetry marked by his own culture.
