"Humours of '37, Grave, Gay and Grim: Rebellion Times in the Canadas" by Robina and Kathleen MacFarlane Lizars is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work examines the turbulent times surrounding the 1837 rebellions in Canada, highlighting the societal and political conflicts between loyalist and rebel sentiments. Through a combination of historical analysis and narrative style, it presents a glimpse into the humour and tragedy of the rebellion, suggesting that the circumstances were often more absurd than truly humorous. The opening of the text lays a foundation for the authors’ exploration of historical events by delving into the societal conditions that led to the rebellion. It discusses the political climate of Canada at the time, characterized by resentment toward British rule and the challenges faced by both the English and French populations. The authors provide a vivid portrayal of key figures such as Mackenzie and Papineau, who play crucial roles in this struggle for reform, as well as the tensions that arose from differing cultural identities and governance. The narrative also hints at the dichotomy of the rebellion, focusing on the grand ideals and motivations behind the uprising while simultaneously emphasizing the more comical elements of the disputes and rivalries that defined this chaotic period.
