About this book
Author / Editor information
Reviews
This book will greatly interest those who wish to better understand the historiographic traditions of nineteenth and twentieth century Canada, particularly Quebec.
Gillian I. Leitch, CDCI Research Inc.:
L’analyse des sources visuelles concernant les sports et la culture associative de Montréal que présente Poulter ouvre une nouvelle perspective sur le rôle identitaire des élites anglo-montréalaises dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle ... Son analyse détaillée et équilibrée intègre avec succès des sources visuelles et textuelles. Le sujet est développé de manière logique et claire, et l’auteur fait montre de rigueur. Il s’agit là d’une importante contribution à l’historiographie concernant le discours identitaire au Canada, qui élargit ce champ d’étude au-delà de la division souvent trop rigide posée entre le Québec et le reste du pays.
Daryl Leroux, University of Ottawa:
Gordon has succeeded in offering a very astute and nuanced empirical study that situates history writing in its larger social and political contexts.
H.V. Nelles, L.R. Wilson Professor of Canadian History, McMaster University, and author of The Art of Nation-Building: Pageantry and Spectacle at Quebec's Tercentenary:
Cartier is one of those rare heroes who have figured in both French- and English-speaking representations of the past. By showing the different ways this came about and the different purposes for which Cartier has been made to serve, this important and engaging book connects two historiographies within Canada as it speaks to issues of relevance to an international audience.
