Early life[]
Albert Laberge was born on 18 February 1871 in Beauharnois, Quebec, to Pierre Laberge and Marie-Joséphine Boursier. He went to the Académie Saint-Clément before attending Collège Sainte-Marie in Montreal.[1] After studying law in 1894, he began working at the newspaper, La Presse, in 1896, and worked as a journalist there until 1932.[1]
Career[]
In 1918, Laberge published La Scouine (fr), which was censured by clergy for its portrayal of traditional Quebecois themes.[2] Other than newspaper articles, he would go on to publish collections of stories, prose-poems, essays, some literary criticism, as well as an unfinished autobiographical novel.
Laberge was also an art collector and critic. He died in 1960.
