Author Lescarbot, Marc, 1570-1641
Title Les Muses de la Nouvelle France
Credits Rénald Lévesque
Summary "Les Muses de la Nouvelle France" by Marc Lescarbot is a poetic work written in the early 17th century. This text serves as an ode to both the landscape and the people of New France, expressing the hope for civilization and cultural flourishing in this new territory. As it blends elements of exploration, celebration, and reflection on the indigenous populations, it invites readers to consider the interactions between French settlers and the native peoples. The opening of the work presents an introduction to the "Muses" of New France, who seek recognition and support from Monseigneur Nicolas Brulart, Chancellor of France. Lescarbot poetically portrays the Muses as reflective of the land's undeveloped potential, embodying both inspiration and the challenges faced by the settlers amid wild landscapes and indigenous cultures. The beginning also introduces themes of hope, the desire for grace, and the search for a more civilized existence, all while highlighting the beauty and richness of the New World as it stands before the French.
