Québec

Description:

"Rémi Chénier's Québec, A French Colonial Town in America, 1660 to 1690 examines the history of Québec from the perspective of urbanization in the 17th century. After reviewing the concept of ville -- in ancien régime France and in New France -- it analyzes in detail the Québec administration, and particularly the various bylaws enacted at that time. The study also discusses the urban landscape and lot concessions, as well as the exterior components of urban houses. Finally, it considers the population and the work force, especially the principal trades involved in house construction."--Back cover.
