Claire L’Heureux-Dubé
Both lionized and vilified, Claire L’Heureux-Dubé has shaped the Canadian legal landscape – and in particular its highest court. The second woman appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada, and the first from Quebec, she was known as “the great dissenter” on the bench, making judgments that were applauded and criticized in turn. L’Heureux-Dubé’s innovative legal approach was anchored in the social, economic, and political context of her cases. Constance Backhouse employs a similar tactic. Rather than focusing exclusively on her high-profile cases and jurisprudential legacy, sheexplores the socio-political and cultural setting in which L’Heureux-Dubé’s career unfolded, while also considering her personal life. This compelling biography covers aspects of legal history that have never been so fully investigated, enhancing our understanding of the judiciary, the creation of law, the distinctive socio-legal environment of Quebec, the experiences of women in the legal profession, and the inner workings of the top court.
Les petits Mondes
Les choses commencent simplement, de façon presque enfantine, avec la découverte d’un univers où se côtoient « heroic fantasy » et quête plus ou moins initiatique. Enfin, tout se complique: multiplication des personnages, des univers, descriptions ou informations partielles sur ces univers et ces personnages (personnes ?), ruptures narratives répétées, précisément au moment où le lecteur pense avoir enfin cerné le cadre, interrogations philosophiques latentes derrière la légèreté des propos. La maîtrise, le suivi de l’intrigue échappe constamment au lecteur non averti. Et pourtant; tout est là, les indices transparaissent, en filigrane. Mais l’organisation générale ne s’affirme qu’à la fin.

A Checklist of Printed Materials Relating to French-Canadian Literature, 1763-1968
This second enlarged edition of Gérard Tougas' Checklist is essentially a primary bibliography of French-Canadian literature from the nineteenth century to 1968. The Checklist, containing over 2800 titles, represents the holdings of the University of British Columbia Library. The UBC collection comprises a substantial portion of the total body of work published in this field. Included are books, pamphlets and microfilms. In this bibliography, the term literature has been interpreted to include separately published chronicles, literary criticism, biographies, and folklore as well as novels, poetry, drama and short stories. The second edition has been expanded to include bibliographies and theses.
