Title
Quebec Legal Historiography, 1760-1900
Abstract
The author focuses on studies dealing with aspects of Quebec law in the period from the British Conquest to 1900. He points out that this historical period witnessed fundamental transformations in Quebec society - the transition to a capitalist economy - and in Quebec law - the codification of civil law and procedure and the reception of English criminal law. The literature surveyed by the author is classified under broad areas of the law -- judicial structures, constitutional and administrative law, private law and criminal law, and material society (family, economy, sexual divisions and the State).
