The History of Emily Montague, written by Frances Brooke and first published in 1769, is often considered the first Canadian novel.[1][2] It is a sentimental novel written in the epistolary form.[1] It also features some elements of a travelogue, as the main letter-writer responds to requests to describe the colony of Canada in detail.[3] The plot of the novel is a love story, but along the way Brooke includes many reflections on social norms and the relations between the English, French, Huron, and Iroquois cultures in Quebec.[1][3]
