| Abstract | The historical value of Bougainville’s testimony on Canada during the Seven Years’ War is well recognized, but historians and biographers have generally not appreciated the extent to which various literary genres color its content. This study shows the importance of making the rhetoric and classical culture of Bougainville explicit in the Ecrits sur le Canada, in particular with respect to the officer’s « ethnographic » observations, his representation of himself and the French army, and his critique of the colonial administration. |
