Abstract
In 1911, Louis Hémon embarked on the ship the Virginian, en route to Quebec City. Hémon documented his voyage to Quebec in a journal, where he speculates on the fears and expectations of the other passengers on the Virginian and offers his first impressions of the Canadian landscape and the Québécois. Hémon also maintained correspondence with his family throughout his North American journey and those letters were collected and published in 1968. In this article, we explore how Hémon's observations found in his journal and letters to his family inform his other writings and his novel Maria Chapdelaine in particular.
