The Conquered and the Conqueror: The Mutual Adaptation of the Canadiens and the British in Quebec, 1759-1775
|
| Abstract |
The author argues that in much of the historiography of post-Conquest Quebec, the period from 1759 to 1775 is often interpreted as an unfortunate interlude leading up to the Quebec Act. The author re-evaluates this period from the perspective of the French- and English-speaking settlers in this new British colony of the "Province of Quebec". By focusing on everyday practices and structures rather than political discourse, he highlights the practical and utilitarian nature of mutual adaptation that characterized the newly conquered society. The author seeks to strike a balance between what he calls the "jovialist" and the "miserabilist" schools of interpretation that have dominated the discussion of this period of Quebec history.
