Between the Ancien Régime and Liberal Modernity: Law, Justice and State Formation in Colonial Quebec, 1760-1867
|
| Abstract |
The author surveys the historiography of state formation in colonial Quebec, from the British Conquest of 1759/1760 to Confederation in 1867, focussing on law and justice. He structures his survey around three key themes: the Conquest as a point of rupture, with the imposition of a British colonial state and English law on top of a largely French-origin society; the nature of the ancien-régime state over the 80 years that followed; and the historiographical debate over the creation of a new liberal order in Quebec from the 1840s onwards.
