The History of Emily Montague is a novel written by Frances Brooke and first published in 1769. This book is the second volume of the novel and was published in 1777. The story is set in Quebec City, Canada, during the mid-18th century, and follows the lives of a group of British expatriates living in the city. The main character, Emily Montague, is a young woman who has recently arrived in Quebec from England. She is immediately drawn to the natural beauty of the area and becomes involved in the social scene of the city.Through Emily’s experiences, the novel explores themes of love, friendship, and cultural differences. Emily falls in love with a French-Canadian man named Valcour, but their relationship is complicated by their different backgrounds and the tensions between the British and French communities in Quebec.The novel also features a diverse cast of characters, including other British expatriates, French-Canadians, and Indigenous people. The interactions between these groups highlight the cultural clashes and misunderstandings that were common during this period in Canadian history.Overall, The History of Emily Montague is a historical novel that provides insight into the social and cultural dynamics of Quebec City during the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
