| Abstract |
The Irish-born Sadlier (1820-1903) immigrated to Montreal in 1844, and remained in the city until 1860 when she moved to the United States, and returned to Montreal in 1869 where she remained for the remainder of her life. The author outlines the literary and personal influence that Thomas D’Arcy McGee had on Sadlier. In her autobiographical novel, Elinor Preston (1861), Sadlier describes her own plight, and that of Irish emigrants in Quebec, who had to choose between the predominantly Protestant English-speaking society of Montreal, and the religious succor but social alienation amongst the province’s French-speaking Catholic populace.
