- Abstract
Between 1927 and 1934, the Ecrivains de l 'Est movement brought the city of Sherbrooke and its surrounding area from a "countryside" to a significant centre of literary activity, most notably as a result of the efforts of La Tribune, which published important literary supplements in 1930, 1931, and 1932. But the efforts of this newspaper, whose editorial board was mostly composed of writers, do not fully explain the emergence of this regional literary movement. The movement's principal factor of cohesion can be insteadfound in epistolary documents. Through the vast correspondence of Alfred Desrochers, the movement's facilitator and leading figure, this article examines the role of correspondence in the emergence and affirmation of the Ecrivains de TEst within the perspective of "epistolary action," a notion borrowed from Marie-Andrée Beaudet.
