| Winner - 2011 Clio Prize - Quebec | | | The CHA is proud to announce that this year's winner of the Clio Prize - Québec is Andrée Lévesque, for her book Éva Circé-Côté : libre-penseuse, 1871-1949. The Clio prizes are awared to to meritorious publications or for exceptional contributions by individuals or organizations to regional history. Biographies published by historians are rare in Quebec, those that trace the entire social fabric and culture of an era are even more so. Andrée Lévesque’s Eva-Circé Côté: freethinker is the fruit of a pioneering approach which makes the connection between women's history and that of Montreal’s cultural "avant-garde " environment. Andrée Lévesque overcame huge challenges due to her extensive expertise in the biographical genre and her deep knowledge of the era and environment studied. If her work reaches a variety of readerships, it also brings new light on Montreal’s cultural "avant-garde" bringing us into this network of writers inspired by French Parnassian, romantic and symbolist movements. | | |
