Origin, Resumption and Emergence of Quebecois Literature
Keywords:
Francophone Literature in Canada, joual, Quiet Revolution, nationalism, Quebec Literature.
Abstract
This article analyzes the emergence of francophone Canadian literature, its birth and evolution, in three important moments in the literary history of Quebec: origins, approaching the founding texts of New France’s literary life; 1760, year in which New France becomes an English colony, originating a new beginning; and the Quiet Revolution, period in which the francophone literature becomes strictly Quebecois. The question of the origins, orientation and transformation of French literature in Quebec is a literary project unavoidably subjected to the questions of language and national definition.Downloads
