Title
Montréal survira-t-elle au déclin de sa grande bourgeoise anglo-protestante?
Abstract
Reviews two different but complementary publications on Montreal during the twentieth century – Margaret W. Westley’s Remembrance of Grandeur: The Anglo-Protestant Elite of Quebec, 1900-1950 (1990) and Marc V. Levine’s The Reconquest of Montreal: Language Policy and Social Change in a Bilingual City (1990). The former book chronicles the decline of the Anglo-Protestant upper middle-class, and the latter is a study of the “reconquest” of the city by the new Francophone bourgeois elite aided by the provincial government’s linguistic policies. The author notes that these two books on Montreal's past give rise to questions and hypotheses on the reasons for the relative decline of the metropolis. She asks, does this decline have some link with the political vacuum that seems to have set in at the heart of Montreal? She proposes a better knowledge of the history of Montreal before the Quiet Revolution.
