Monuments intellectuels de la Nouvelle-France et du Québec ancien: Aux origines d’une tradition culturelle
The experience of New France and ancient Quebec has led to the writing of travelers, missionaries, scholars, scholars and sages. Some have described this part of the world, its history, its characteristics, its peoples; the others have explained the dimensions of the physical world, of life or of the human experience. Lescarbot and Champlain in Charlevoix, the works of the XVII th and XVIII th centuries, related to the exploration of a new world and in contact with very different peoples of the Europeans, are both geographical, ethnological and historical, but history as genre really appears in 1845, with FX Garneau. Other texts, by James Huston, Etienne Parent, Léon Gérin and Ernest Gagnon, examine the language, literature and culture or the sociological traits of 19th- century French Canada.century. Geology with William Logan, entomology with Léon Provancher and medicine with William Osier form the science contingent. Philosophy, theology and even mysticism, with Marie de l'Incarnation, also find their voice in this book which presents, with a current look, 27 real intellectual monuments, to the origins of the cultural tradition of Quebec.
