Montreal features prominently in francophone Québécois fiction. This is due, in part, to its differences from other places within Quebec. As the largest urban conurbation, it is the economic and cultural centre, and is more ethnically diverse than anywhere else in the province. Montreal also occupies an almost obssessive presence in the Québécois novel due to its historical association with an anglophone social and business elite, whose prominence was challenged by the post-war nationalism known as the Quiet Revolution, popularly dated as beginning in 1960. The research examines the ways in which Montreal is represented in the contemporary francophone Québécois novel; looking at how and why certain landmarks in the city take on particular importance at various moments in time. In so doing, it considers how literary landscapes connect with material ones in order to inform our understanding and experiencing of the urban in an increasingly urbanised world.

蒙特利尔在以法语为母语的魁氏小说中占有显著地位。这部分是由于它与魁北克其他地方的不同。作为最大的城市群，它是经济和文化中心，比省内其他任何地方都更具有种族多样性。蒙特利尔在《魁姆斯·卡姆斯》的小说中也占据了一个几乎不可忽视的位置，因为它与讲英语的社会和商业精英有着历史联系，他们的地位受到战后民族主义的挑战，被称为“安静革命”（Quiet Revolution），人们普遍认为始于1960年。该研究考察了蒙特利尔在当代法语小说中的表现方式；看看城市中的某些地标如何以及为什么在不同的时刻具有特别的重要性。在这样做的过程中，它考虑了文学景观如何与物质景观联系起来，以便在日益城市化的世界中告知我们对城市的理解和体验。
