Antique Furniture of Québec brings together hundreds of sumptuous full-colour photographs illustrating every phase in the history of Québec furniture and an authoritative text written by Michel Lessard describing and analysing that history. The result is a book that is both a beautiful object and an unparalleled resource.Lessard emphasizes the cosmopolitan and eclectic nature of Québec society and its openness to outside influences. He draws upon both textual and photographic sources to demonstrate that Quebeckers, from the first years of settlement to the present time, have adopted craft and design ideas from abroad. The three cultures that have historically shaped Québec society, that of France, Great Britain, and the United States, have naturally been the most powerful influences. Lessard traces their effect while, at the same time, demonstrating the often original and creative response to these influences by Québec designers, artists, and craftspeople.It’s all in these pages: from the ornate and often heavy furniture of eighteenth century France to the primitive, Shaker-influenced pine furniture of rural Québec, to William Morris and Art Deco and, finally, the Modern era. Of particular interest is the series of homes that the author has tracked down, each typical of a particular era and each preserved with furnishings appropriate to the era in place. By this and other means, Michel Lessard masterfully combines an appreciation of the historical and social context in which furniture is made and used with a thorough understanding of the craft and business of furniture-making.“Furniture,” writes Michel Lessard, “is an open book containing a multitude of stories.” This lavish and authoritative book is certain to continue telling its stories for years to come.

Flüchtigkeit und Performativität in der Gegenwartslyrik aus Québec: Rosalie Lessard, François Rioux, Maggie Roussel. In Gedichtbänden von Rosalie Lessard, François Rioux und Maggie Roussel charakterisiert Flüchtigkeit das Lebensgefühl in einer schnelllebigen, globalisierten und digitalisierten Welt.

Die Studie klassifiziert verschiedene, auch zeitspezifische Erscheinungsweisen des Ephemeren anhand eines neuen Merkmalkatalogs und präsentiert Kategorien performativer Verfahren der Nähe und Distanz. Bestimmte performative Strategien der Gedichte machen das Flüchtige im Akt der Lektüre spürbar.

"Of beach plums, ramps, and Ramada Inns: a quietly sensitive eminently sensible consideration of the landscapes of our lives . . . A gift. ―Kirkus Reviews Following her bestselling The Architect of Desire, Suzannah Lessard returns with a remarkable book, a work of relentless curiosity and a graceful mixture of observation and philosophy. This intriguing hybrid will remind some of W. G. Sebald’s work and others of Rebecca Solnit’s, but it is Lessard’s singular talent to combine this profound book-length mosaic―a blend of historical travelogue, reportorial probing, philosophical meditation, and prose poem―into a work of unique genius, as she describes and reimagines our landscapes. In this exploration of our surroundings, The Absent Hand contends that to reimagine landscape is a form of cultural reinvention. This engrossing work of literary nonfiction is a deep dive into our surroundings―cities, countryside, and sprawl―exploring change in the meaning of place and reimagining the world in a time of transition. Whether it be climate change altering the meaning of nature, or digital communications altering the nature of work, the effects of global enclosure on the meaning of place are panoramic, infiltrative, inescapable. No one will finish this book, this journey, without having their ideas of living and settling in their surroundings profoundly enriched.
