Jules-Paul Tardivel

Jules-Paul Tardivel (2 September 1851 – 24 April 1905) was an American–Québécois writer and a significant promoter of Quebec nationalism.
Tardivel was born in Covington, Kentucky, and sent to Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec, for his classical education in the French language. Despite learning French only in his late teens, he became a tireless promoter of French Quebec and detractor of anglicisms.
