Title |
The Rise and Decline of Science at Quebec, 1824-1844
|
Abstract |
The author points out that in the opening years of the nineteenth century, the English and French populations of Quebec City maintained a shaky, often strained, accommodation. Social conditions for the cultivation of science were met for a period just long enough to allow science to flourish; the inner contradictions of Quebec society rose closer to the surface during the 1830s, breaking forth in 1837. The author explains that if social stability within a bourgeoisie is necessary for science to be cultivated, then the growing estrangement of the two elites of Quebec in the 1830s could only lead to the failure of scientific activity.
