Canada and the United States

Ronald Rudin. Founding Fathers: The Celebration of Champlain and Laval in the Streets of Quebec, 1878–1908. Toronto: University of Toronto Press. 2003. Pp. xi, 290. Cloth $60.00, paper $27.95.

Ronald Rudin's book is evidence of a growing interest by Canadian and international historians in public commemorations and displays of historical memory, particularly for the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Like fellow historians H. V. Nelles, Alan Gordon, Norman Knowles, Robert Cupido, Colin Coates, and this reviewer, Rudin explores the public spectacles of memory and history orchestrated by members of Canadian society, both their "onstage" manifestation in parades, processions, and pageants and the "backstage" tensions and dynamics that at times resulted in compromises over the former's shape and structure. The book examines the four celebrations in Quebec City's streets of Bishop Francis Xavier de Montmorency Laval, the first bishop of Quebec, and Samuel de Champlain, the "founder" of Quebec City.
