About this book

Parish registers, notarial acts, administrative and judicial archives were used extensively to provide a comprehensive view of the formation and evolution of this society in its seigneurial context. In La Prairie en Nouvelle-France the seigneury comes into its own as a vantage point from which to view Canadian society under the French régime. The comparative approach that informs the entire work permits parallels and contrasts between colonial and metropolitan societies.

Reviews

"En plus d'ajouter un morceau toujours bienvenu à la mosaïque de la campagne ancienne, l'auteur intègre des champs d'investigation jusqu'ici peu explorés par les historiens du Régime français ... La comparaison avec la société française dont l'auteur est spécialiste est soutenue tout au long de l'analyse ... Le style de l'argumentation est clair, accessible et parfois ironique." Thomas Wien, Département d'histoire, Université de Montréal. "Rich in detailed information, both anecdotal and statistical, culled from the voluminous records of the Jesuits, as well as the local priests and notaries, Lavallée's account certainly enriches our understanding of New France society." Allan Greer, Department of History, University of Toronto. ---
