The Catholic Origins of Quebec's Quiet Revolution challenges a version of history central to modern Quebec's understanding of itself: that the Quiet Revolution began in the 1960s as a secular vision of state and society which rapidly displaced an obsolete, clericalized Catholicism. Michael Gauvreau argues that organizations such as Catholic youth movements played a central role in formulating the Catholic ideology underlying the Quiet Revolution and that ordinary Quebecers experienced the Quiet Revolution primarily through a series of transformations in the expression of their Catholic identity. Providing a new understanding of Catholicism's place in twentieth-century Quebec, Gauvreau reveals that Catholicism was not only increasingly dominated by the priorities of laypeople but was also the central force in Quebec's cultural transformation. He makes it clear that from the 1930s to the 1960s the Church espoused a particularly radical understanding of modernity, especially in the areas of youth, gender identities, marriage, and family.

"This is the first comprehensive biography of Claude Ryan based upon his published writings and personal papers. Set against a background of intense religious and cultural change and tensions over the meanings of nationalism and federalism in both Quebec and Canada, this book traces the emergence of Ryan's vocation as a public intellectual, in which a merging of Catholic religious fervour and new currents of social analysis enabled him to escape his roots in the poverty-stricken neighbourhoods of Depression-era Montreal. This book reveals the ways in which this enabled Ryan to speak to a postwar generation of committed young Quebecers, thus assuring his surprising ascension to the position of one of the most influential voices in Canadian liberalism and federalism in the 1960s. In rich detail, this biography presents the development of Ryan's ideas on religion, politics, and society, which marked him as both as a major figure seeking the transformation of Roman Catholicism in the 1950s and 1960s, and a key Canadian exponent of a current of liberalism at odds with that espoused by Pierre Elliott Trudeau. Through analysis of Ryan's personal and intellectual dealings with both Trudeau and René Lévesque, this book will contribute to a significant rethinking of the relationship between liberalism, nationalism, and federalism. It contains compelling new material on the breakdown of social and cultural consensus in Quebec in the late 1960s, and provides a strikingly new interpretation of the motives of the key players in the October Crisis of 1970"--

This book explores the courtship and marriage of Gwyneth Murray, an English woman, and a Canadian, Harry Logan, who wrote in the personae of their vagina (Dardanella) and penis (Peter) during World War I.  Through an analysis of their extensive daily correspondence over nearly a decade, it uncovers the couple’s changing attitudes to the intersection of sexuality and religion, to marriage and childrearing, as they navigated the transition from Victorian to modern values.  By focusing on first-person narratives, this book enriches our understanding of gender identities revealing how porous the boundaries remained between notions of 'heterosexual' and 'same-sex' friendships.  This study offers an unprecedented perspective on one couple’s sexual practices, which included mutual masturbation and oral sex, and constitutes one of the most intensive examinations of female attitudes to sexual pleasure in an era of female emancipation.  .

Christie and Gauvreau look at the ways in which reformers expanded the churches' popular base through mass revivalism, established social work and sociology in Canadian universities and church colleges, and aggressively sought to take a leadership role in social reform by incorporating independent reform organizations into the church-sponsored Social Service Council of Canada. They also explore the instrumental role of Protestant clergymen in formulating social legislation and transforming the scope and responsibilities of the modern state. The enormous influence of the Protestant churches before World War II can no longer be ignored, nor can the view that the churches were accomplices in their own secularization be justified. A Full-Orbed Christianity calls on historians to rethink the role of Protestantism in Canadian life and to see it not as the garrison of anti-modernity but as the chief harbinger of cultural change before 1940.
