Claude Boudan was a Celestine monk of significant stature, who held several offices within the Order. He was also a prolific and talented author of Latin verse. Among his numerous works still in manuscript, the long poem in dactylic hexameters, titled De mutua hugonostici belli et catholicae pacis collatione carmen heroicum, is unique insofar as it offers his perspective on the contemporaneous events of the Wars of Religion in France. Written in an energetic, and at times eve polemical tone, the poem describes several violent incidents that occurred during the period beginning in the early 1560S and preceding the Saint Bartholomew’s Massacre of 1572, adopting a resolutely partisan point of view. In this, it resembles much of the polemical poetry written during the period, by authors as diverse as Ronsard, d’Aubigné, Jean Dorat, and Léger Du Chesne.

The first volume of Jovette Marchessault's autobiographical trilogy, Le crachat solaire [Like a Child of the Earth], tells the story of the narrator's cosmic journey to the earth, her birth, as well as her travels in the belly of a Greyhound bus through the Americas as an adult, which connects her to “the Amerindian land.” After a long journey, she feels the need to return to Montreal, a story of return that joins that of her fall to the earth in the carnal envelope of her physical body. The two intertwining narratives offer an alternative vision of history through a narrative of the self, of her family, of her ancestors and of a creation story. This unique feminist text published in 1975 articulates patriarchal domination with the violence of colonialism in an effort to offer a feminist and anti-colonial version of the history of Montreal, Quebec, and the Americas more broadly. From my position as a white settler feminist, I analyze how Marchessault's autobiographical narrative pushes for an anti-colonial consciousness for Quebec feminists and encourages a critical look at the history of colonialism in Quebec.
