We ask: what value is there in reading Frances Brooke\u2019s\u00a0<em>The History of Emily Montague<\/em>\u00a0today?<\/p>\n<p>First published in 1769 and set in what eventually became Quebec City, this epistolary novel gives an intimate glimpse of social life just after the British conquest of New France. It is inspired by the writer\u2019s own experience.<\/p>\n<p>Offering insights on relations among the English, the\u00a0<em>Canadiens<\/em>, and the Huron-Wendat, the novel reveals both progressive views and racial prejudices of the period through interwoven love stories. It sheds light on a complicated colonial past whose legacy continues to challenge us. The invited speakers will help us address important facets of the novel:\u00a0<strong>Donald Fyson<\/strong>\u00a0(specialist in 18<sup>th<\/sup>\u201320<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century Quebec history at Universit\u00e9 Laval),\u00a0<strong>Linda M. Morra<\/strong>\u00a0(specialist in Canadian women\u2019s literature at Bishop\u2019s University),\u00a0<strong>Jean-Philip Rochon Paul<\/strong>\u00a0(Huron-Wendat Nation),\u00a0<strong>Peter Sabor<\/strong>\u00a0(Canada Research Chair in Eighteenth-Century Studies at McGill University),\u00a0<span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">and\u00a0<strong>Philip Sioui<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0(Huron-Wendat Nation).<\/p>\n<p>The talks will be accompanied by dramatic readings. A character actor and a touch of period music will add a flavour of the time. Whether you have read the novel or not, whether you are a member of the public or a specialist in the field, you are sure to come away with new perspectives on a novel which has continued to engage generations of readers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information about the presenters and their talks coming soon!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>To register for this FREE event, click\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.ca\/e\/the-history-of-emily-montague-symposium-tickets-883482458817\">HERE<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For a complete list of\u00a0<em>The History of Emily Montague\u00a0<\/em>activities, please click\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.morrin.org\/en\/reading-emily-montague\/\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For more about the LHSQ200<sup>th\u00a0<\/sup>activities, please click\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.morrin.org\/en\/200th-anniversary-of-the-lhsq\/\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">This activity is in celebration of Frances Brooke\u2019s 300<sup><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none white-space-prewrap\">th<\/span><\/sup><\/span><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none white-space-prewrap\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">birthday\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none white-space-prewrap\">as well as the LHSQ\u2019s 200<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary.
