Description

The Seigneurs of Old Canada: A Chronicle of New World Feudalism, authored by William Bennett Munro, provides an in-depth exploration of the unique feudal system that developed in New France during the 17th and 18th centuries. Munro masterfully examines the relationship between the seigneurs—landlords granted extensive tracts of land by the French crown—and the habitant farmers who tilled the land, offering insights into this complex societal structure. The book delves into the economic, social, and cultural implications of this system, illustrating how it shaped the lives of settlers and contributed to the broader narrative of Canadian history. Through meticulous research and engaging prose, Munro captures the individuals behind the system, revealing their motivations, struggles, and the impact of their governance on the emerging Canadian identity. This seminal work is essential reading for those interested in the historical foundations of Canada and the dynamics of feudalism in the New World.
