| Rosanna Mullins Leprohonâ s The Manor House of De Villerai, A Tale of Canada Under the French Dominion is a literary milestoneâ it is the first Canadian historical novel, in English or French, to rewrite the conquest of the French Canadians from the perspective of historyâ s vanquished. Its revisionary account of the fall of New France is framed around a love triangle between the heroine, Blanche De Villerai, her childhood betrothed, Gustave de Montarville, and Blancheâ s servant, Rose Lauzon. Popular in its original serial publication and once widely reprinted in French translation, but now out of print, The Manor House of De Villerai is a long-overlooked Canadian classic. In addition to the text originally serialized in the Family Herald magazine, this Broadview Edition includes extensive documents on the novelâ s reception, Leprohonâ s historical sources and literary precedents, and maps and art from the period. |
