Making history in twentieth-century Quebec

the long version

This book is the first comprehensive examination of the way in which French-speaking Quebecers have written about their past in the twentieth century. Rudin begins his study with Lionel Groulx, a professional historian who dominated the field for the first half of the century, and concludes with figures such as Paul-Andre Linteau who occupy an important place in the discipline today. As a complementary volume to Carl Berger's The Writing of Canadian History, and as a new, critical reading of Quebec historiography, this book will stimulate considerable debate in the historical community.
