Title
John Talon Lesperance et la littérature canadienne-française
Abstract
Born and educated in a French-speaking community in the United States, John Lesperance (1835-1891) arrived in Canada in 1865 and quickly rose to prominence as a poet, novelist and essayist in Anglophone Montreal. As editor of, or a contributor to, various English-language newspapers and magazines, he devoted himself to informing his Anglo-Canadian readers about the principal Francophone writers of Quebec. A cultivated and polyglot lover of books, Lesperance took pleasure in recording the progress of the two literatures of his adopted country.
