| Zusammenfassung: | "From the age of thirteen to just prior to his death at thirty-two at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, Major-General James Wolfe wrote an extensive series of letters to his parents. The letters, which were acquired by the University of Toronto's Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library in 2012, provide intimate insights into the observations, thoughts, and feelings of a major figure in Canada's history. For the first time in over a century this correspondence, accompanied by detailed commentary, is being published by the Champlain Society. Writing on a range of subjects in this outstanding collection of over two hundred letters, Wolfe provides us with fascinating and intimate glimpses of eighteenth-century life as he experienced it. From his life and career aspirations in the army, to questions of human nature, health, and marriage, to observations Wolfe made while posted to Scotland and during a sojourn in Paris, his keen insights make for fascinating reading and a deeper understanding of the character and personality of a significant historical figure. This edition of Wolfe's letters will take readers far beyond the well-known drama of his final moments and instead provide an illuminating sense of the road he travelled to Quebec."-- |
