This companion volume to Revisiting 1759 examines how the
Conquest of Canada has been remembered, commemorated, interpreted,
and reinterpreted by groups in Canada, France, Great Britain, the
United States, and most of all, in Quebec. It focuses particularly
on how the public memory of the Conquest has been used for a
variety of cultural, political, and intellectual purposes.
The essays contained in this volume investigate topics such as
the legacy of 1759 in twentieth-century Quebec; the memorialization
of General James Wolfe in a variety of national contexts; and the
re-imagination of the Plains of Abraham as a tourist destination.
Combined with Revisiting 1759, this collection provides readers
with the most comprehensive, wide-ranging assessment to date of the
lasting effects of the Conquest of Canada.
