Adjutor Rivard


Adjutor Rivard was a lawyer, writer, judge and linguist from Quebec, Canada.
He studied at the Petit séminaire de Québec and Université Laval. He co-founded the Société du parler français [au Canada] and is recognized as one of the principal authors of the Glossaire du parler français au Canada published by the SPFC in 1930. With Mgr Louis-Nazaire Bégin, he also co-founded the L'Action catholique review.

Writing career

Rivard was something of a traditionalist as can be seen in his somewhat syrupy description of country life as portrayed in Chez Nous.
