About This Item
Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1993. Book. Fine. Cloth. First. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. xvi, 359pp., index, biblio., notes, photos, maps, errata slips. Fine, in what would otherwise have been a fine or vg DJ, but the rear panel of the DJ has been crumpled slightly and has a small tear. Osgoode Society Publication. "Many people assume that a French-English cleavage has always existed and historians have been uncertain as to just how it unfolded. This book provides the answer. Greenwood recreates a Quebec in which trust between French and English Canadians was an early casualty of the execution of Louis XVI and the descent of the French Revolution through terror into war. Fearing invasion, the English community, through the law officers of the crown, drafted draconian legislation and established an efficient counter-intelligence service. Lower Canada in those days was a hotbed of spies and counter-intelligence, highlighted by the trial for high treason of an American undercover agent for revolutionary France. Placing the legal history of Quebec in the foreground of these dangerous and dramatic events, Greenwood reveals this period as a turning point that altered not only French-English relations but Canada's legal and constitutional inheritance.".
