Sophie Doucet

Sophie Doucet, « Sur le chemin du paradis : les joies d’aimer, de croire et de s’accomplir de Marie-Louise Globensky (1849-1919) ». Revue d’histoire de l’Amérique française, Vol 70, no 3 (Hiver 2017), p. 5-29.

Sophie Doucet transports us into nineteenth-century Montreal bourgeois life with this gender and class analysis of Marie-Louise Globensky’s diaries. She significantly contributes to the recent history of emotions by paying attention to the joy of little and big occasions. Often neglected in historical literature, joy as an emotion is impressively showcased in this study.
