Alan Gordon focuses on one national hero - Jacques Cartier - to explore how notions about the past have been created, passed on through the generations, and used to present particular ideas about the world in English- and French-speaking Canada. He reveals that the cult of celebrity surrounding Cartier by the mid-nineteenth century reflected a particular understanding of history, one which accompanied the arrival of modernity in North America. This new sensibility shaped the political and cultural currents of nation building in Canada. Cartier was a point of contact between English and French Canadian nationalism, but the nature of that contact had profound limitations."--BOOK JACKET. 606 $aNational characteristics, Canadian$xHistoriography 607 $aCanada$xHistory$yTo 1763 (New France)$xHistoriography 607 $aCanada$xDiscovery and exploration$xFrench$xHistoriography 607 $aCanada$xHistoriography 615 0$aNational characteristics, Canadian$xHistoriography. 676 $a971.01/13092 700 $aGordon$b Alan$f1968-$01475608 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790872403321 996 $aThe hero and the historians$93689843 997 $aUNINA
