Tolfrey : un aristocrate au Bas-Canada
|
| Abstract |
Frederic Hildebrand Oakes Tolfrey (b. c1795), an Englishman who may have been a British Army officer, lived in Quebec City for two years, beginning in 1816. In 1845 Tolfey published his memoirs of his life in Lower Canada, which included gourmet feasts, social gatherings, horse racing and hunting and fishing trips. His 1845 book was titled: The Sportsman in Canada (London: T.C. Newby). Tolfey is considered one of the most famous angling writers of all time, thanks to his involvement of the 1848 publication: Jones’s Guide to Norway. One writer says of Tolfey: "...while it is convenient to call Tolfrey a journalist, this only really applies to the 1840s and a better description of him would be a complete and utter scoundrel."
