In September 1919, just a few weeks after its opening, Dr. Albert Prévost's sanatorium welcomed its first nurse. Charlotte Tassé was only 26 years old. She was coming back from six months of specialized training in the US and had accepted to help for only two weeks. She will stay 44 years! Quickly become essential to Dr. Prévost, who was very busy with his responsibilities at the Université de Montréal and l'Hôpital Notre-Dame, the young nurse established herself as the heart of this small mental health facility. When the neurologist died, in 1926, she ensured that the sanatorium survive, helped by a new young recruit named Bernadette Lépine. Twenty years after, in 1945, the two nurses saved the institution from bankruptcy by buying it with their own funds. Then, they deeply transformed its organisation and reinforced its training offer, managing to transform it, in a few years only, in one of the most important and avant-garde mental health care and training centers in Québec. However, the arrival of a young and ambitious psychiatrist named Camille Laurin, at the end of the 1950s, knocked the long-standing stability of the institution and then quickly made the important role of the nurses forget. Based on the study of unpublished archives, this paper relates the story of these women and their major contribution to the history of Albert-Prévost Institut.

This article proposes to sketch a brief portrait of the fields of knowledge in literature and the medical humanities insofar as the links between the two are seen as both crucial and controversial. Crucial because the very development of the medical humanities first depended on the the reading and analysis of literary texts in pre-med courses—a tendency henceforth institutionalized with the sub-field of narrative medicine. Controversial because the idea of literature in service to medicine and health revived polemics on the instrumentalization of the arts by the sciences. Now that the medical humanities have become an essential field well beyond the English-speaking world, it seems necessary to further question their links to literary studies. We will do this here by suggesting that these links, in their consensual acceptances and pedagogical renewals, remain contained and limited by a false dichotomy, that of a health of literature opposed to a health in literature, where the former manifests as ethics (applicable to other fields), and the latter as poetics (limited to questions of language and aesthetics).
