Step back in time with this romance set in Victorian Canada, first published in 1864! Antoinette de Mirecourt is a historical novel set in the years following the British conquest of French Canada. Rosanna Leprohon sought to write a novel that was “essentially Canadian”, aiming to help Canadians “form and foster a literature of their own.” Her fiction delves into the complex relationship between English and French Canadians, making this a cornerstone of Canadian literature. Once seen as a sentimental tale, this Canadian classic is now celebrated for its feminist message and remains a vital piece of Canada’s literary heritage.
This meticulously annotated scholarly edition includes an insightful introduction by Dr. Sylvia Hunt, chronology, and a supplementary short story.
