Camille Roy (October 22, 1870 – June 24, 1943)[1][2] was a Canadian priest and literary critic. He wrote extensively about the development of French-Canadian literature, and its importance in the promotion of French language and culture and of Christian ideals.[3][4]

Early life and education

Roy was born in Berthier-en-Bas (Berthier-sur-Mer), Quebec. He studied at the Petit Séminaire of Quebec and the Grand Séminaire de Québec and was ordained a priest in 1896.

Career

Roy wrote a number of articles and essays of literary criticism, beginning in 1902,[5] many of which were published in newspapers and magazines. A collection of his essays, Essais sur la littérature canadienne was published in 1907.[6] In 1912 he edited and published a collection of stories about Canadian life.[6]

In 1909 Roy wrote Nos origines littéraires, in which he discussed the influence of French literature on Canadian writers.[7][8]

Roy wrote extensively about approaches to the study of literature,[9] including Manuel d'histoire de la littérature canadienne-française in 1920.[10]

Roy was rector of Université Laval for four terms: 1922 to 1924, 1929, 1932 to 1938, and 1940 to 1943. Through these years he lectured and wrote about French-Canadian culture and its expression through literature.[11] He was awarded the Lorne Pierce Medal in 1929.
