About Wacousta
Wacousta is a novel by John Richardson. Published in 1832, it is sometimes claimed as the first Canadian novel, although in fact it is preceded by Julia Catherine Beckwith's St Ursula's Convent; or, The Nun of Canada. Wacousta is better categorized as the first attempt by a Canadian-born author at historical fiction.
