Nellie 0F&OXQJ¶VSowing Seeds in Danny initially outsold /XF\0DXG0RQWJRPHU\¶VAnne of Green GablesEXWE\0F&OXQJ¶VERRNKDGODUJHO\GLVDSSHDUHGIURP&DQDGLDn consciousness. The popularity of Anne, on the other hand, has continued to the present, and Anne has received far more academic and critical attention, especially since 1985. It is only recently that Anne of Green Gables has been criticized for its ideology in the same manner as Sowing Seeds in Danny. The initial question that inspired this dissertation was why Sowing Seeds in Danny disappeared from public and critical awareness while Anne of Green Gables continued to sell well to the present day and to garner critical and popular attention into the twenty-first century. In light of the fact that both books have in recent years come under condemnation and stand charged with maternal feminism, imperial motherhood, eugenics, and racism, one must ask further why this has now happened to both Danny and Anne. What has changed? The hypothesis of the dissertation is that Danny¶VUHODWLYHO\VSHHG\GLVDSSHDUDQFH ZDVSDUWO\GXHWRDVKLIWLQ&DQDGLDQV¶UHOLJLRXVZRUOGYLHZRYHUWKHWZHQWLHWKFHQWXU\DV church attendaQFHDQGELEOLFDOOLWHUDF\JUDGXDOO\GHFOLQHG0F&OXQJ¶VUKHWRULFDOVWUDWHJLHV look back to the dominant Protestantism of the nineteenth century, in contrast to 0RQWJRPHU\¶VZKLFKORRNIRUZDUGWRWKHWZHQWLHWK-FHQWXU\¶VZDQLQJRIUHOLJLRXVIDLWK Although WKHUHLVHQRXJK&KULVWLDQLW\LQ0RQWJRPHU\¶VQRYHOWRKDYHPDGHLWDFFHSWDEOHWR her largely Christian reading public at the beginning of the century, its presentation is subtle enough that it does not disturb or baffle a twenty-first-century reader in the ZD\0F&OXQJ¶V GRHV0F&OXQJ¶VQRYHOLVVRIRUWKULJKW in its presentation of Christianity, with its use of v nineteenth-century tropes and conventions and with its moralising didacticism, that the delightful aspects of the novel were soon lost to an increasingly secular reading public. Likewise, the recent critical challenges to both novels spring from a worldview at odds with the predominantly Christian worldview of 1908. The goal of the dissertation has been to read Sowing Seeds in Danny and Anne of Green Gables within the religious contexts of a 1908 reader in order to avoid an unquestioning twenty-first-century censure of these novels, and to ascertain the reasons for their divergent popularity and recent critical condemnation. vi Acknowledgements First I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Janice Fiamengo, for her unfailing encouragement, her always-positive criticism, her friendship, and her supportive engagement with my topic. She is the reason I embarked on the PhD journey. I am grateful to my four examiners, Dr. Gwendolyn Davies, Dr. Gerald Lynch, Dr. Dominic Manganiello, and Dr. David Staines, for their careful reading of my dissertation and for their helpful suggestions. I would also like to thank the University of Ottawa for financial support during the first four years of the doctoral program, and the FGPS for the travel grant that enabled me to do research in the British Columbia Public Archives in Victoria. On a personal level, I would like to thank my husband John for his unceasing support, his willingness to read many chapter drafts with unflagging enthusiasm, and his flexibility in negotiating his own work schedule to accommodate mine. I also thank my family: my children - Anna, Laura, David, Sarah, Jonathan and Daniel, and their spouses - Ahren, Chris, Christian, Tim, Erin, and Rachel, for keeping me humble; and my grandchildren - Gregory, Michael, Jack, Christopher, Evan, George, James, Duncan, Jonah, Julia, Toby, Josie, Zoe, and Kyla, who represent the future. vii Finally, I would like to thank my mother Kathleen Wesson Parker for ensuring that her children had the academic opportunities denied to her and for always pushing me to achieve my personal best. Her delight in my achievements has been a reward in itself.

I speculated that as the condition of Protestant faith moved from its dominant position at the beginning of the century, when 98% of the population claimed adherence to a Christian denomination, to its reduced status at the end of the century, when fewer than 20% regularly attended church, novels written by authors who were raised in the Protestant faith reflected and complicated this cultural shift. I intended to look at two novels in each quarter of the century for evidence of the changes in the presentation of social, private, and institutional Protestantism, and to consider correlations between the worldviews presented in these fictional texts, their reception history, their critical history, and the condition of religious faith at different periods of the century. Because no study had related Canadian fiction to a changing religious environment over time, I anticipated that my dissertation would fill a significant gap in literary studies. Halfway through the project, I found myself increasingly dissatisfied with having to simplify ideas and make generalizations in order not to exceed fifty pages per chapter. My fascination with the question of the disappearance of Sowing Seeds in Danny in contrast to the popularity of Anne of Green Gables had led to several conference papers on various aspects of the themes only hinted at in my first chapter. I also realized that in looking at the reception history of Danny and Anne, I could discuss many of the arguments concerning worldview shift that I intended to address in the overall project. I therefore asked for and x received permission to limit my project to the two novels so that I could examine each in greater depth. The study of religion and literature has achieved the status of a sub-genre of literary studies in the United States and Great Britain; in Canada, however, this area has been largely ignored.

Anne of Green Gables: New Directions at 100. Toronto: University of Toronto Press. Jason Nolan, PhD School of Early Childhood Education Ryerson University Here, too, the ethical responsibility of the school on the social side must be interpreted in the broadest and freest spirit; it is equivalent to that training of the child which will give him such possession of himself that he may take charge of himself; may not only adapt himself to the changes that are going on, but have power to shape and direct them. -- John Dewey1 In L.M. Montgomery’s Anne of Avonlea (1909), sixteen-year-old Anne Shirley articulates a progressive pedagogical attitude that seems to coincide with Dewey’s Moral Principles in Education, published the same year: ‘No, if I can’t get along without whipping I shall not try to teach school. There are better ways of managing. I shall try to win my pupils’ affections and then they will want to do what I tell them.’2 Drawing from her own childhood experience depicted in Anne of Green Gables, fledgling teacher Anne describes a schooling experience that would treat the student as she once wished to be treated. As a child, Anne embodied the model of a self-directed learner who actively engaged with her physical and social environment, making meaning and constructing her own identity and understanding of the world, indeed creating a world in which she could live.

  • Akage No Anne ~ Takahata Isao ~ 1979 Akage No Anne
    赤毛のアン Akage no Anne ~ Takahata Isao ~ 1979 Akage no Anne Le mois de Juin de cette année 2008 vient de fêter l’ouverture du centenaire de la naissance d’une certaine Anne Shirley. En effet, cette jeune personne fut l’héroïne du roman Anne of Green Gables / Anne... La Maison aux pignons verts que l’auteur canadienne Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942) écrivit, puis publia en juin 19081. Cet anniversaire aurait pu passer quelque peu inaperçu dans l’univers de l’animation, si Takahata Isao (Le tombeau des lucioles, Omohide Poro Poro, Pompoko) n’avait réalisé la magnifique série Akage no Anne / Anne aux cheveux roux adaptant cette aventure. Hasard du temps qui s’écoule, depuis avril 2008, LCJ propose enfin une édition française en DVD. Celle-ci se composera de 4 coffrets couvrant les 50 épisodes qui furent diffusés au Japon du 7 janvier au 30 décembre 1979, cela dans le cadre annuel des séries Sekai Meisaku Gekijô2. Si l’édition est française, la seule version proposée est québécoise, la série ayant été diffusée en cette province en 1989. C’est ainsi la première occasion pour le public français de la découvrir, celle-ci n’ayant jamais été diffusée dans l’hexagone. L’histoire contait, en 1876, la vie d’Anne Shirley, une jeune orpheline adoptée à sa onzième année par Matthew Cuthbert et sa sœur Marilla. Cette adoption fut le fruit d’une erreur, les Cuthbert ayant demandé, par une intermédiaire, un jeune garçon qui aurait pu aider Matthew dans ses travaux. Mais s’attachant rapidement à cette enfant, qui de la joie d’être chez eux, pleure de n’y plus être, ils décident de l’adopter.

Erityisesti tutkin löytyykö romaanista piirteitä ristiriitaisuudesta ja sen omaksumisesta ja individualismin ideologiasta, feministisestä ja positiivisesta äitiydestä sekä konventionaalisen naisellisuuden etuoikeuttamisesta. Tutkielmani teoreettinen kehys muodostuu feministisestä kirjallisuuden tutkimuksesta, painottuen kolmannen aallon feministiseen teoriaan. Erityisesti feminististä äitiyttä tutkittaessa tutkielman kulmakivenä on Adrienne Richin teoria äitiydestä, jota Andrea O'Reilly on kehittänyt. Tämän teorian mukaan äitiys on toisaalta miesten määrittelemä ja kontrolloima, naista alistava instituutio patriarkaalisessa yhteiskunnassa, toisaalta naisten määrittelemä ja naiskeskeinen positiivinen elämys, joka potentiaalisesti voimauttaa naisia. Kolmannen aallon feminismi korostaa eroja naisten välillä ja naisissa itsessään,

    Revelation: Unveiling Reality “Sex, Money and Jezebel” Revelation 2:18-29 Kevin Haah April 17, 2016 Turn on Timer! [Slide 1] We are in a middle of a series entitled, “Revelation: Unveiling Reality.” Revelation was written to show us that reality is more than what we see with our eyes. That’s the thesis of the book: things are not as they seem. This book unveils reality not just of the future, but also of the present. There is more to this present moment then we can know with our unaided senses. The more we see this, the more our perspective toward life changes. We see the world differently. We see the pressures and stresses of our lives differently. So, this is a practical book. It helps us be faithful even during hardships! Today, we are going to look at one of the letters to the seven churches, the letter to the church in Thyatira. [Slide 2] Today’s sermon is entitled, “Sex, Money and Jezebel.” [Slide 3] Let’s go to Revelation 2:18-29: 18 “To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. 19 I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first. [Slide 4] 20 Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.

(Acid in papers, adhesives, plastics and albums can cause your photos to fade and spot.) What Do I Need to Get Started? Not only is scrapbooking fun and creative, it is also easy and inexpensive to get started. To get going, we recommend the following basic items: Package of Acid-Free Cardstock (20-30 sheets) on which to place photos. Archival Page Protectors in which to place finished photos. Photo-Fix Adhesive (or a tape runner adhesive)—Never use glue on photos! The photo fix is a double-sided adhesive square that you simply place on the back of your photo; it will hold the photo in place on the acid-free paper. Pigment-Ink Black Pen—We recommend either the ZIG Millennium pen (available in five tip widths), the ZIG Twin Tip Writer pen, or a Stabilo pencil. Remember to use a pigment-ink pen to write on the back of your photos—and be sure to give the ink a few seconds to dry. Never write on the back of your photos with a ballpoint pen! Oval or Circle Template—This will allow you to crop (cut) your photos into a shape. When shaping a photo, be sure that you don’t cut out any important “historical” information (such as avocado-green refrigerators!).

  • Visual Wonders Vs Novelist's Perspectives in Anne of Green Gables
    INFOKARA RESEARCH ISSN NO: 1021-9056 Visual Wonders vs Novelist’s Perspectives in Anne of Green Gables M.Esther Assistant Professor of English Fatima College, Madurai [email protected] Abstract: Most of the Film makers use literature as their medium of source. Many Films are mainly based on Novels. However, each of them use different ways to narrate similar stories. Umpteen numbers of literary masterpieces are represented through films. Quite often, people like to compare the novel with the film that tells the same story, and many people are inclined to agree with the opinion that films could defeat the novels in telling the story. This paper situates Lucy Maud Montgomery's Novel Anne of Green Gables in the context of Film Adaptation by tracing the ways in which the Director Sullivan is different from the author. It explores the shifting role of a popular text to an entirely different medium. It focuses on how screened images function and affect the audiences rather than the readers of a book. It highlights how the visual wonders of the blockbuster hits and engages the audience through evoking emotions towards characters. Moreover, this paper conceives the idea that the differences between novels and films and how these two forms of media will never create the same effects on presenting stories.

This paper will examine how our perception of Grove’s cycle alters when the stories are viewed as tales. This is the label the author preferred. As he explained in his essay “The Novel,” while the short story deals with characters and incidents “excised” from the “social body” (It Needs to Be Said 120), the tale is concerned with the “border-provinces of human life” or life “on the margin.” Because tales belong to the oral tradition, the style of oration and identity of the teller are also important. Chaucer democratized tales by proving that anyone, irrespective of economic class or educational background, could tell a tale so long as it had sustaining interest to command an audience; Poe used the genre as an invitation to a fantastic, psychologically layered fictional world; and Washington Irving employed narrators who were dramatic figures in their own right, filtering his tales through them (Fallon xvii).

Dr. Hallett Llewellyn Date: ___________________________ The United Church of Canada in Canadian Literature Elizabeth A. Hogan Thesis Abstract This thesis traces the relationship of The United Church of Canada to the development of Canadian national identity in the years prior to Church Union, and in the first forty years of the denomination's history, with particular attention to the literary witness to this relationship manifest in a number of key works of Canadian literature. Major historical events and trends are surveyed in the history of the country and denomination in each of three historical periods -- from Confederation to Church Union, the Depression and Second World War, and 1945-1965 -- followed by an analysis of the way in which references to the United Church in various novels of each period reveal and reflect the denomination's changing influence on and relationship to Canadian identity.
