Canadian novelist. Of French descent. Lord of Saint-Jean-Port-Joli in southern Quebec. In the mid-18th century, he depicted the struggle between the British and French powers over the possession of French Canada and its final resolution in his historical novel, "Once Upon a Time in Canada" (1863), which is in the style of Scott's Waverley novels and combines romance with research into the customs of the time. He is the first important writer of French Canadian literature.
