Abstract

This paper investigates the ocurrence of the myth of Corriveau within Quebec’stradition. Its objective is to verify how Anne Hébert’s rewriting of this figurediffers from that offered mainly by texts of male authorship. Focus is given tothe historic, mythic and literary destiny of Corriveau through an overview ofdistinct ways of her representation, followed by the analysis of three literaryworks: Les Anciens Canadiens (1867), by Philippe A. de Gaspé; Une Relique(1898), by Louis Fréchette, and La Cage (1990), by Anne Hébert.
