Closely linked to the notion of God, spirituality dominates throughout Gabrielle Roy's writings. The characters speculate about the meaning of life and death, about good and evil. Of all Roy's writings, it is undoubtedly in Alexandre Chenevert that these searching questions are most expressly depicted. / In this thesis, we will study the manner in which the romantic background of Alexandre Chenevert reflects the religious experience of post-war French Canadians. Under the guise of distorted images, the novel does, in fact, hide an abundant network of themes referring to the religious context of the 1940's-1950's. This period was marked by challenging the ecclesiastical authority. The study of Alexandre Chenevert, a genuine sociological document, will allow us to understand the role religion played in the evolution of the French Canadian society.

Born in Russia in 1904, Alexandre Marc was very active among the French non-conformist movements of the thirties. He attempted to federate them around the Ordre Nouveau group he founded in 1930; there, under the impulse of Arnaud Dandieu (1897-1933), a philosophy of personalism was elaborated, in a Nietzschean and federalist form, a few years before it was taken up and adapted in a communitarian Catholic version by the review Esprit of Emmanuel Mounier, where the term was made famous. Marc had brought there the idea of personalism, which he had derived from his Russian background and his German philosophical formation. With the aim of forming a revolutionary common front of European youth beyond national and party divisions, he made contacts on behalf of O.N. with a number of youth movements in Germany, most notably that of the review Gegner of Harro Schulze-Boysen, who would become a controversial leader of the Resistance against Hitler.
