Author Bio for Lespérance, John Talon
John Talon Lespérance (1835-1891) was a prominent 19th-century journalist, poet, and novelist from Missouri, who played a significant role in the development of Canadian literature. Initially preparing for the priesthood with the Jesuit order, he traveled extensively across the United States and Europe before redirecting his career towards journalism. After marrying Parmella Lacasse in Quebec in 1866, he began his professional journey at the News and Frontier Advocate, eventually securing a prestigious position at the Canadian Illustrated News. Lesperance's contributions to literature included founding membership in the Royal Society of Canada in 1882 and serving as the first editor of the Dominion Illustrated News, where he supported emerging writers.—EBSCO Research Starters
