In 1763 few Europeans doubted the enormous importance of their Caribbean possessions, a fact indicated by the ready willingness of the French to cede Canada in order to regain British-occupied Martinique. The British were no different, and in the West Indies they were in the process of establishing a New World aristocracy whose riches were based upon African slavery and the production of tropical crops. The British prized their Caribbean territories, especially since the sugar revolution that had begun during the mid-seventeenth century first in Barbados where the crop had become dominant by 1660 and then in Jamaica. British planters continued their success in the Leeward Island settlements of Antigua, St. Christopher, Nevis, and Montserrat, where entrepreneurs converted their lands to sugar cane by the early 1700s. West Indian planters became influential within the British Empire, and exercised profound social, political, and economic importance in the metropolis. By the eighteenth century they were the richest colonists within the empire; they were landed aristocrats who could have vied in wealth and prestige with their counterparts in Britain.

Guidée par un questionnement sur la part imaginaire de l’identité, nous abordons le voyage de Tocqueville au Bas-Canada comme une excursion à la recherche du Même. À une réflexion sur la différence entre les Canadiens français et les Français, sur leur apparente ressemblance, sur le contraste du rapport des Canadiens français avec les Américains et les Anglais et, dans une moindre mesure, avec les Français, succède une prise de position marquée de Tocqueville pour l’affirmation du fait français au Canada. Dans ce pays qu’il considère comme une nouvelle vieille France, le jeune aristocrate brosse un tableau clair-obscur des Canadiens, réjouissantes momies de l’ancienne France conservées dans le musée imaginaire de l’identité.

The May 2004 decision of the London High Court in the matter of Thomson v. Christie's captured the interest of the salacious British press for its glamorous players: the Canadian heiress, the English aristocrat, and the international auction house. Taylor Thomson, the daughter of billionaire newspaper baron, Lord Thomson of Fleet, sued both the Marquess of Cholmondeley, a bachelor filmmaker with a fortune valued at over £100 million, and Christie's Auction House, for misrepresenting a pair of gilt and porphyry urns she purchased from Cholmondeley at a Christie's sale in London in 1994 for just under £2 million.

Gaelic-speaking emigrants brought with them a massive body of oral tradition, including a rich and varied corpus of song–poetry, and many of the emigrants were themselves highly skilled song-makers. Elegies were a particularly prominent genre that formed a crucially important aspect of the sizeable amount of panegyric verse for members of the Gaelic aristocracy, which is a tradition dating back to the Middle Ages. This contribution will demonstrate that elegies retained a prominent place in the Gaelic tradition in the new world Gaelic communities established in many parts of Canada and in particular in eastern Nova Scotia. In many respects, the tradition is a conservative one: there are strong elements of continuity. One important difference is the subjects for whom elegies were composed: in the new world context, praise for clan chiefs and other members of the traditional Gaelic aristocracy were no longer of relevance, although a small number were composed primarily out of a sense of personal obligation for patronage shown in the Old Country. Instead—and as was increasingly happening in the nineteenth century in Scotland, as well—the deaths of new community leaders, including clergy, and other prominent Gaels were recorded in verse. The large number of songs composed to mark the deaths of community members is also important—particularly young people lost at sea and in other tragic circumstances, occasionally in military service, and so forth. In these song–poems, we see local poets playing a role assumed by song-makers throughout Gaelic-speaking Scotland and Ireland: that of spokespeople for the community as a whole.

The article investigates how the gothic tradition of early eighteenth century has evolved into its present twentieth century form by building on its staple ingredients of awe, fear, heightened imagination, dark subterranean vaults, persecuted heroines and malevolent aristocrats. During the Romantic period the external paraphernalia of gothic devices began to be internalized, which marks the most important shift in the genre. The external markers became the internal states of the individual. The consciousness, imagination and freedom of the individual tended to be valued more than his conformation to the societal norms. The focus in the modern gothic is not on the supernatural but it operates in completely human, social and familiar world. The article reviews how Margaret Atwood, a leading Canadian author implicates gothic devices in three of her novels, Surfacing, The Edible Woman and The Lady Oracle. The most frightening gothic phenomenon which haunts Atwood’s heroines is their own psyche; their gothic and heightened imagination illustrates their desires and fears in excessive forms.

Texto completoResumen
Sustained yield has been a tenet of faith among foresters since forestry emerged as a profession. The concept developed during feudal times when foresters were primarily gamekeepers for landed aristocracy. When the industrial revolution put new demands on forests for fuelwood, foresters extended their "bag limits" to the trees, based on the perception that unregulated markets would result in forest devastation. Early foresters believed that governments must own or regulate forests to perpetuate timber resources. This belief is the basis for extensive public forests today in Canada, the United States and elsewhere. The vision of the early foresters was not reality, but many still cling to their erroneous notions.Markets can and do provide far better information than any sustained yield model about how forests should be managed. Net present value maximization without any sustained yield harvest flow constraints provides a superior way to manage forests and subjects the vision needed to plan for today and tomorrow to meaningful reality checks. Sustained yield constraints greatly distort attempts to measure the effects of alternative management practices for both timber and non-timber outputs.

Abstract We investigated optimum nitrogen rates and different growth substrates for short-term finish production of container and bare root shade tree liners in a pot-in-pot production system in the Intermountain West. In one study, nitrogen ranging from 0–27 g N-tree−1 (0–36 lbs N·1000 ft−2) as urea was applied to quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides), ‘Autumn Blaze’ maple (Acer × freemannii ‘Autumn Blaze’), ‘Chanticleer’ flowering pear (Pyrus calleryana ‘Chanticleer’), and ‘Canada Red’ chokecherry (Prunus virginiana ‘Canada Red’). Twenty-six liter liners (#7 container) were transplanted into 57 liter (#15) containers in a retail nursery finishing pot-in-pot system. Trunk diameter growth and shoot-tip elongation measurements were recorded for one growing season. Overall, only pear had a consistent increase in terminal shoot and trunk growth in response to N at 9 g N·tree−1 (12 lbs N·1000 ft−2). Maple and chokecherry exhibited modest lateral shoot growth at 4.5 and 18 g N·tree−1 (10–24 lbs N·1000 ft−2), and aspen growth had no response to N. The second study evaluated the effect of nitrogen rates and substrate type on first-year trunk diameter growth of bare root common chokecherry (Prunus virginiana) and Aristocrat flowering pear (Pyrus calleryana ‘Aristocrat’). Large bare-root liners were installed into a finishing pot-in-pot system with three substrate treatments, a proprietary, a commercial mix using several organic matter sources, and a simple composted bark-pumice mix. Five nitrogen rates, 0–9 g N·tree−1, (0–12 lbs N·1000 ft−2) were applied to each substrate. Pear again had a modest increase in trunk growth at 2.2 g N per tree, but had no response to the different growth substrates. Chokecherry trunk growth did not increase with nitrogen nor did substrate treatment substantively affect growth. This study indicates that Intermountain West retail nurseries can likely reduce first-year nitrogen applications to container and bare root liner stock during finish production, and use a simpler media to achieve optimum growth at potentially lower cost.

Our identity is formed in large part by the way we see others and the way others, in their turn, see us. This is true both of Québec and of Édouard, one of the principal characters of the fictionalised Montréal universe of Michel Tremblay. A representative of the pre-1970s socio-economic inequality of French-Canadians, Édouard is further marginalised by his homosexuality. In his transvestite persona as the Duchesse de Langeais, a revised version of a Balzacian heroine, he undertakes a mocking critique of the injustices of his society from the ‘external’ point of view of this supposed French aristocrat before seizing the opportunity of an actual visit to France, hoping to find there a freer and more equitable society. But the Old World turns out to be unwelcoming and antiquated, making Édouard more aware of the hitherto unperceived advantages of his life in Montréal. Returning home, his only option is to resume his role as a provocative duchess, preparing the ground for the advent in 1976 of a modern Québec, a francophone society of the New World, internationally recognised for its openness of mind and its cultural dynamism.

For two decades, John James Audubon (1785–1851) travelled widely and frequently while working on his illustrated natural history volumes – still highly prized today for their aesthetic and scientific merit: Birds of America (1827–1838) and Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America (1846–1854). Neither independently wealthy nor employed as a salaried scientist, the artist-naturalist with a flair for marketing financed his projects by selling subscriptions. Successfully marketing Birds to members of the British aristocracy, as well as to organizations and to artistic and intellectual elites, Audubon was reluctant to take Quadrupeds to Britain even though sales there were key to the financial viability of his work. Instead, in 1842 Audubon travelled to Canada (now Ontario and Quebec), the most populous region of British North America. The colony was, he calculated, a viable source of subscribers; however, he was wrong. Moreover, having travelled to British North America previously, he should have expected modest returns. Nonetheless, he was optimistic that this expedition would succeed where those to New Brunswick (1832) and Labrador and Newfoundland (1833) had failed. This paper examines why success eluded Audubon in the colonies, arguing that entrepreneurialism buttressed by patronage – a winning strategy in Britain – failed because there was a vast difference between metropolis and hinterland when it came to supporting the arts and sciences.

Abstract Leone Caetani’s life (1869-1935) was definitely not a common one. Prince of Teano and duke of Sermoneta, he was immersed on the cream of Italian and international aristocracy of his age age of colonialism, age of adventurous travelling. On the tracks of his travels in the Middle East and in the far West, his studies and his personal writings, we tried to sketch this extraordinary figure of Orientalist on the field, of refined and renowned historian of the first period of Islam. A life through the life itself. This — we imagine — may be the right keyword to interpret his natural aptitude for extreme travels from East to West and the back to East — in the Sinai (1888-1889) and Sahara deserts (1890), in the Far West and the Rocky Mountains of Canada (1891), and back in Persia (1894) and India (1899) —, his pulsating interest for the Arabs and their origins, his craving desire to be “with boots in the mud” and “geography in his pocket”. Versed in the languages he used them to get in touch with cultures and peoples almost unknown — such as the Yazidi —, steadily convinced that only a first-hand experience could give back the exact taste of the truth. He was among the first Italians to explore the Sinai and the first Italian traveller ever in the sands of the Algerian Sahara.

Texto completoResumen
Lors d'une conférence prononcée en 1922, Louis Alexandre Taschereau, premier ministre du Québec et d'ascendance noble, fait l'apologie de la noblesse canadienne en insistant sur le fait qu'elle occupe toujours le premier rang de la société. À l'inverse, une certaine historiographie (Ouellet, 1966; Brunet 1969 ; Séguin, 1970) a prétendu que le groupe nobiliaire a perdu son autorité dès la Cession de la Nouvelle-France. Il est indéniable que la noblesse s'est transformée lorsque la période préindustrielle a peu à peu laissé place à l'ère industrielle, mais dans quelle mesure? Cette thèse poursuit l'objectif d'établir un portrait du devenir de l'ensemble des familles nobles d'origine française restées au Canada, de la Cession de la Nouvelle-France jusqu'à la Première Guerre mondiale, en portant une attention particulière à ses comportements démographiques et matrimoniaux ainsi qu'aux parcours professionnels et à l'identification à ses lignées ancestrales.Si la Cession nécessite une adaptation, la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle constitue un choc encore plus important. De nombreuses familles nobles ont connu un glissement social, mais ce processus s'est effectué progressivement dans le temps et à des moments différents selon les cas. Surtout, l'ensemble des thèmes étudiés convergent vers un noyau de familles ayant réussi à conserver une position élitaire et à maintenir une autorité locale, régionale et, dans quelques cas, nationale, voire plus rarement, impériale. Des caractéristiques du régime français persistent au sein de ce sous-groupe restreint, telle que la propriété foncière et la valeur du service. Celui-ci fait aussi preuve d'adaptation, par exemple sur le plan professionnel et du choix des conjoints. Alors que de nombreuses familles déclinent au fil du XIXe siècle, des initiatives identitaires émergent parallèlement chez celles s'étant maintenues, qui revendiquent une appartenance à une lignée le plus souvent en voie d'extinction démographiqueIn a 1922 conference, Louis Alexandre Taschereau, of noble descent and Prime Minister of Quebec, insisted that Canadian aristocracy still occupied at that moment the highest social rank. On the other hand, some historians claimed that aristocrats had declined in tandem with the Cession of New France in 1763 (Ouellet, 1966; Brunet, 1969; Séguin, 1970). In fact, it is undeniable that nobility metamorphosed as the pre-industrial period gradually made its way to the Industrial Era. In that respect, how did aristocracy evolved ? From the Cession of New France to the First World War, the present thesis aims to analyse the becoming of noble families of French descent who stayed in Canada. Indeed, this study focuses on their respective demographic and matrimonial background, as well as their career paths and their identification with their ancestral lineages.If the Cession required adaptation the second half of the 19th century constituted an even more significant shock as aristocracy lost its bearing. This came as a challenge to aristocrats who had to reinvent themselves in order to maintain their high social status. Many noble families progressively experienced a social shift over time and at various moments throughout different events. But all the studied themes converge toward a core of families who succeeded in retaining an elite position and maintaining local, regional and, sometimes national, and somewhat rarely, imperial authority. We observe that characteristics of the French regime persist within this restrictive subgroup, such as land ownership and the value of service. These aristocrats also adapted their career paths and choices of spouse. While aristocracy declined over the course of the 19th century, identity initiatives emerged among those who remained noble, claiming to belong to an aristocracy lineage, that often was on the verge of demographic extinction

Abstract After the astonishing successes of the Seven Years War (1756-63), during which the British conquered Canada, drove the French out of West Africa, took Havana from the Spanish, and asserted the supremacy of the British navy over all its European rivals, the euphoria of acquired empire evaporated with speed. One anxiety was that the British empire was now supported by oppressive military might. The parallel with the militaristic Roman empire, which had grown out of the Roman republic so admired by the earlier eighteenth-century aristocracy, began to seem pressing; it was rendered unavoidable by Edward Gibbon’s The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1776-88), the idea for which was conceived as early as 1763.

Texto completoResumen
This chapter examines the early debates over colonization proposals for Nova Scotia from the end of the Seven Years’ War to the outbreak of the American Revolution and argues that these discussions highlighted larger questions over the nature and future of Britain’s Atlantic colonies. A division emerged between advocates of small-scale landholdings based on freehold tenure, such as Alexander McNutt, and the more aristocratic approach which favoured tenant-populated estates. Several future American revolutionaries involved in failed land projects in Nova Scotia, including Benjamin Franklin, believed they had been thwarted by policies that favoured British aristocrats and imperial functionaries. Nova Scotia, therefore, both reflected broader debates on land tenure and provided evidence of Imperial wrongdoing.

Abstract There is no sign as yet of the one man who is both of sufficient character and sufficient inventive genius to alter the stream of music today definitely and conclusively. This is perhaps only to be expected; nature is not in the habit of throwing up a Titan every 50 years or so ... ... I have completed the Canadian work which I suggested to you a long time ago and about which Heinsheimer has always seemed so keen I dare sayyou will hear from him direct whether he thinks it will suit the American market or not. You see how commercially minded I am growing. The last century was a good time for children of shopkeepers. Politicians, intellectuals, Olympic athletes, and musicians of every kind emerged from behind the most unlikely counters. Edward Elgar, for example, died in 1934, whiskered, well fed, ennobled, and financially secure. His humble Worcester background was usually hidden behind his considerable achievements, although it was given the occasional airing---the gesture of a self-made man. To Siegfried Sassoon, Elgar ‘s appearance was that of a retired Victorian army officer, and his outlook that of an aristocrat-‘the Due D ’Elgar ‘. Although Elgar never became prime minister, the fate and fortune of one woman of background similar to Elgar ‘s, he did once consider becoming a Tory candidate for parliament and he met with Edward VII ‘s warm approval. He was appointed Master of the King ‘s Musick in 1924-a suitably archaic title for a position occupied by this status-conscious composer.
