SUMMARY:Library Lectures: Eli MacLaren - Morrin Centre
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for our series of talks in honour of the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec’s 200th anniversary. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA New Account of Western Canadian Authorship: The Poetry of Margaret Laurence’s Mother-in-Law\nWhat models of being a writer were available to the young Margaret Laurence (1926–87) in the years leading up to her breakthrough novel\, The Stone Angel (1964)? What structures of publishing and authorship were in place to support such an achievement by a woman from the Prairies? Among the Western Canadian authors of the Depression and the interwar period was one whom Margaret particularly acknowledged as a mentor – her husband Jack’s mother\, Elsie Fry Laurence (1893–1982). Examining Elsie’s books and periodical contributions sheds new light on the possibilities and limits of being an author in Western Canada. This talk will trace Elsie’s life and career – through her romantic novel written as a governess in imperial Russia\, her contributions to the Edmonton Journal and Alberta Poetry Year Book\, her Ryerson Poetry Chap-Books\, and her later fiction – to show how she carved out a practice of imagining the key roles played by women in rural Canada\, a theme that would deeply inspire Margaret. In addition to her books\, this account draws on interviews and correspondence with Elsie’s surviving children and grandchildren\, thereby assembling an archive for a talented poet whom literary criticism has until now overlooked. \n  \n \nPresenter Biography\nEli MacLaren teaches poetry\, Canadian literature\, and the history of books and publishing in the Department of English at McGill University\, where he is currently the director of graduate studies. He is the author of Dominion and Agency: Copyright and the Structuring of the Canadian Book Trade\, 1867–1918 (2011) and Little Resilience: The Ryerson Poetry Chap-Books (2020). He is the vice-president of the Bibliographical Society of Canada and a co-researcher at the Groupe de recherches et d’études sur le livre au Québec. As the director of the Montreal International Poetry Prize\, he co-ordinates a team of students and colleagues in building the international network for contemporary poetry. \n  \n  \n  \nThe event will be hybrid. \nTo sign up to attend this event in person or online\, please click HERE. \n\nThis event is made possible thanks to support from the Government of Canada.

SUMMARY:Symposium: "The History of Emily Montague"
DESCRIPTION:Any way you read it…the novel is still able to instruct and delight.\n–Borealis Press \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCome learn about Canada’s first novel at our half-day symposium aimed to inform and delight. We ask: what value is there in reading Frances Brooke’s The History of Emily Montague today? \nFirst 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’s own experience. \nOffering insights on relations among the English\, the Canadiens\, 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: Donald Fyson (specialist in 18th–20th century Quebec history at Université Laval)\, Linda M. Morra (specialist in Canadian women’s literature at Bishop’s University)\, Jean-Philip Rochon Paul (Huron-Wendat Nation)\, Peter Sabor (Canada Research Chair in Eighteenth-Century Studies at McGill University)\, and Philip Sioui (Huron-Wendat Nation). \nThe 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. \nMore information about the presenters and their talks coming soon! \n  \n\nTo register for this FREE event\, click HERE. \nFor a complete list of The History of Emily Montague activities\, please click HERE. \nFor more about the LHSQ200th activities\, please click HERE. \n\nThis activity is in celebration of Frances Brooke’s 300th birthday as well as the LHSQ’s 200th anniversary. It is in partnership with the English literature program in the Département de littérature\, théâtre et cinéma at Université Laval\, the Huron-Wendat Nation\, and CEGEP Champlain-St. Lawrence. \n \n \n \n  \n  \nThank you to the Government of Canada for their support. \n \n\nImage 1: Frances Brooke by Catherine Read\, Oil on canvas (c. 1771)\, Library and Archives Canada\, 1981-88-1\, e011154587 \nImage 2: Frances Brooke by James Hopwood Sr.\, Stipple engraving (1812)\, National Portrait Gallery\, D14044
