May 2017: Final Volume on Jesuits in English Canada Available

With Conscience of a Nation, Novalis has recent published the third and final volume of its three-volume history of the Jesuits in English Canada (1842-2013). The publisher notes that the text surveys “Jesuit spirituality and formation, as well as the society’s work with ecology, education, and foreign missions.”

The previous two volumes (on Jesuits as teachers and as builders of the nation) were published in 2015. Jacques Monet, S.J.–the director of the Canadian Institute of Jesuit Studies–served as the executive editor of the three-volume series. The series is referenced in the essay “Historiography of Jesuits in Canada since 1842” in the Open Access resource Jesuit Historiography Online, hosted by Brill.
