- Abstract
This article presents the coming into being of Quebecois literature within the context of European and American political thought, as well as in the light of the literary models such political thinking promoted. It analyzes the impact of programs of "nationalization" and "Canadianization" fostered by the Catholic Church in Quebec during the 19th century and up to the 1930s, as well as it points to the aesthetic resistance to such initiatives during the same period. A particular attention is given to the ideology of survival, to Agriculturism and to Ultramontanism which have influenced the roman du terroir and poetry, as well as to the expressions of liberal political thinking as represented by the Canadian Institute of Montreal (1844-1869). Dissident movements such as the Romantic and Symbolist art of poets led by Émile Nelligan in the École littéraire de Montréal (1895-1906), the review Le Nigog (1906-1918), and the peasant realist novel by Albert Laberge and Ringuet are also taken into account.
