- Abstract
"Désormais ..." (From Now On ).There might not be a more famous word in Québec history. As he was succeeding Maurice Duplessis as Premier during the autumn of 1959, Paul Sauvé is said to have used this word repeatedly to draw a line between two worlds : the Great Darkness of the Duplessis era and the Quiet Revolution. There can be no doubt that Paul Sauvé routinely used the word "Désormais ..." , as several contemporaries and historians have confirmed. Nonetheless, we ask the question: What if Paul Sauvé had never uttered “Désormais..."? Through an exhaustive research in the archives and newspapers of that era, this paper examines how the word “Désormais..." became a mythistory.
