Happy Birthday, Lucy Maud Montgomery

Nov 30, 2017 Uncategorized 0 Comments

On 30 November 1874, Lucy Maud Montgomery was born in New London, Prince Edward Island. Best known for her Anne of Green Gables series, the Canadian author had international reach. Together, the following four books explore not just the global impact of her writings, but how much her writings were influenced by her environment and the period.


L.M. Montgomery and the Matter of Nature(s)
Edited by Rita Bode and Jean Mitchell

L.M. Montgomery’s writings are replete with enchanting yet subtle and fluid depictions of nature that convey her intense appreciation for the natural world. At a time of ecological crises, intensifying environmental anxiety, and burgeoning eco-critical perspectives, L.M. Montgomery and the Matter of Nature(s) repositions the Canadian author’s relationship to nature in terms of current environmental criticism across several disciplines, introducing a fresh approach to her life and work.

Forthcoming May 2018


L.M. Montgomery and War

Edited by Andrea McKenzie and Jane Ledwell

Through her novels, Montgomery engages directly with the global conflicts of her time, from the North-West Resistance to the Second World War. Given the influence of her wartime writing on Canada’s cultural memories, L.M. Montgomery and War restores Montgomery to her rightful place as a major war writer. Drawing on new perspectives from war studies, literary studies, historical studies, gender studies, and visual art, the book explores new ways to consider the iconic Canadian writer and her work.


L.M. Montgomery’s Rainbow Valleys
The Ontario Years, 1911-1942

Edited by Rita Bode and Lesley D. Clement

Engaging with discussions on both her life and her fiction, L.M. Montgomery’s Rainbow Valleys explores the joys, sorrows, and literature that emerged from her transformative years in Ontario. While this time brought Montgomery much pleasure and acclaim, it was also challenged and complicated by a sense of displacement and the need to self-fashion and self-dramatize as she struggled to align her private self with her public persona.


Anne around the World
L.M. Montgomery and Her Classic

Edited by Jane Ledwell and Jean Mitchell

What makes Anne of Green Gables an international, time-honoured classic? International audiences have described reading L.M. Montgomery’s most celebrated novel as an experience in enchantment. Balancing criticism and celebration, Jane Ledwell and Jean Mitchell bring together essays that consider the sources of the wonder that Montgomery’s work inspires.
