Title
A Perspective on British History and the Treatment of Quebec
Abstract
The author explores the way British historiography has dealt with the Conquest of Quebec and its aftermath, 1760–74. The first part of the essay is the author's analysis of why accounts of the Conquest and the passage of the Quebec Act used to play a central role in any history of Hanoverian Britain, prior to the Second World War; then, conversely, how these same events barely warrant a mention in present day texts and monographs. The second part of his essay offers three previously neglected themes through which the debate about Quebec's importance to the cause of Hanoverian studies might be revivified and some corrections to current misconceptions about these events initiated.
