This first book since the 1950s to investigate an unusually complex period in Quebec's educational history extends the sophisticated method used in author Bruce Curtis's double-award-winning Politics of Population Drawing on a mass of archival material, the study shows that although attempts to govern Quebec by educating its population consumed huge amounts of public money, they had little impact on rural ignorance: while near-universal literacy reigned in New England by the 1820s, at best one in three French-speaking peasant men in Quebec could sign his name in the insurrectionary decade of the 1830s. Curtis documents educational conditions on the ground, but also shows how imperial attempts to govern a tumultuous colony propelled the early development of Canadian social science. He provides a revisionist account of the pioneering investigations of Lord Gosford and Lord Durham."--Pub. desc Geschichte gnd Education Political aspects Québec (Province) History 18th century Education Political aspects Québec (Province) History 19th century Education Québec (Province) History 18th century Education Québec (Province) History 19th century Éducation (RERO)A021065504 rero Sociologie (RERO)A021067527 rero Science politique (RERO)A021065678 rero Bildung (DE-588)4006650-2 gnd Bildungspolitik (DE-588)4006667-8 gnd Schule (DE-588)4053474-1 gnd Regierung (DE-588)4049012-9 gnd Canada History 1763-1791 Canada Politics and government 1763-1791 Kanada (DE-588)4029456-0 gnd Québec (DE-588)4103473-9 gnd BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 Metadata rights reserved rero UIFE-201404 nebis EN RERO RE31041 RE31041 RE310410002 BICJ G 10878 CEQF B 37 CUR 2012 NEBIS UIFE UIFE ULIFE Fz 349 RERO 100 1- Curtis Bruce 1950- (IDREF)068932413 cre NEBIS 100 1- Curtis Bruce SWISSBIB 357431065
