\"\"<\/strong>In this talk, based on Reading the Diaries of Henry Trent: The Everyday Life of a Canadian Englishman, 1842\u20131898 <\/em>(McGill-Queen\u2019s University Press, 2021), Jack Little will discuss what the many volumes of Henry Trent\u2019s personal diary reveal of his rather unusual life journey. Under the wing of his psychologically disturbed father, who was one of the British half-pay officers who had settled in the Drummondville area, young Trent began to keep a diary as an exercise in self-improvement and continued to do so largely in order to record his efforts to succeed in life. His sometimes emotional diary takes us from his youthful years, spent hunting and fishing in the lower St. Francis valley (Quebec), to his transition into early manhood in London and then Vancouver Island, and finally to his last four decades of struggle, as the husband of a much younger French Canadian woman and the father of their many children on the riverside farm he had inherited from his father. Trent\u2019s story of downward mobility not only gives us a rare view of 19th<\/sup>-century society in the Drummondville area, but it also shines a sharply focused light on the nature of social class, gender roles, family dynamics, the aging process, French-English relations, and British colonialism in 19th<\/sup>-century Canada.<\/p>\n
