Frances Brooke's Emily Montague (1769): Canada and Women's Rights
|
| Abstract |
The author contends that the Frances Brooke's 1769 novel, The History of Emily Montague, is "one of the earliest feminist statements." The History of Emily Montague is an epistolary novel that recounts the courtship and marriage of three different sets of lovers in Canada and England from April 1766 to November 1768. The main letter-writers in the novel are Emily Montague, Colonel William Fermor, Colonel Ed Rivers, and Arabella Fermor. The novel details the social life and norms and the relations between the English, French, Huron, and Iroquois in the newly-acquired British colony of Quebec.
