Publisher Synopsis
" Patrician Families and the Making of Quebec breaks new ground in multiple ways, especially through the use of elite histories to interrogate changing authority relations over multiple generations. In the process, it reshapes our understanding of class, culture, and social relations." Bettina Bradbury, Department of History, York University " As a study of the history of Quebec through the lens of family life, Patrician Families has no peer. Through his careful comparison of the experiences of the Taschereaus and McCords, Brian Young has produced a study that adds a great deal to our knowledge of French and English Quebec. That it is beautifully written and illustrated only adds to its appeal." British Journal of Canadian Studies Read more...
