Writings on the United States and Canada (including Democracy in America)

It is both necessary and desirable that the government of a democratic people should be active and powerful; and our object should not be to render it weak or indolent, but solely to prevent it from abusing its aptitude and its strength.

Donovan, Virginia Rae, D’Iberville, Chaussegros, de Lery, the Laterrières, and Tocquevilles: Quèbec through the prism of absolutism, the Enlightenment, and Romanticism (Dissertation, The Ohio State University, 2007). From the abstract: “This dissertation evaluates the perspectives of these writers through a careful analysis of selected major writings about Quebec. Included are historical documents that were not originally intended to be literature according to the classic definition of the term. Yet these documents bear the mark of the conceptual framework in which they were written, even as does the literature of a given era. This demonstrates that these historical documents provide us with different views of Quebec which mirror not only these individuals’ life experiences, but which also reflect their participation in the dominant literary, philosophical or historical movements in existence at the time that they lived: Absolutism, the Enlightenment, and Romanticism.”
