LM Montgomery, Anne of Green Gabels L.M. MONTGOMERY and Anne of Green Gables Lucy Maud Montgomery Lucy Maud Montgomery (always called Maud) was born on 30 November, 1874 in the little town of Clifton (now called New London) on Prince Edward Island (a province of Canada), the place she would make famous around the world. She came from a long line of Prince Edward Island ancestors and had a large network of aunts, cousins and other relatives who would figure largely in her fiction. The family was Scottish in origin.

Montgomery and Anne of Green Gables Susannah Fullerton © 2017 2 https://susannahfullerton.com.au When Maud was only 21 months old, her mother Clara died of Tuberculosis. The loss of a mother is a common theme in Maud’s novels – Anne, Emily, Kilmeny and Jane are all motherless. Her father headed west and Maud saw little of him. She lived with her MacNeill grandparents, strict and religious people who did their duty by her, but showed little warmth. Family possessions (china dogs), her own games (a Katie Maurice who lived in a glass door), family events (her aunt Emily’s wedding) all later went into her books. Lucy Maud Montgomery’s grandmother - Lucy MacNeill (ca.1870s) - who raised Maud as a child, and exterior view of her grandparents’ home Cavendish, where Maud lived (ca.1890s). Courtesy University of Guelph Library Maud was an imaginative child. “I had in my imagination a passport to fairyland”, she wrote later. Books took her into another world and she read voraciously. Sometimes she had a version of Emily’s ‘Flash’, a glimpse into another world which “always made life worthwhile” and throughout her life she had a strong interest in the supernatural and telepathy (something which comes into her Emily books). She especially loved poetry – Tennyson, Scott, Shakespeare, Byron and Longfellow. With friends, she formed a writing club, so they could record the stories they told each other. When she was 9 she began to write her own poems. In 1887, her father remarried and moved to Saskatchewan. Maud disliked her stepmother, but went to live with them and helped care Lucy Maud Montgomery age 8, for her half-brother when he was born. Her schooling was ca.1882. Courtesy University of Guelph Library interrupted during this time. She missed her beloved Prince Edward L.M. Montgomery and Anne of Green Gables Susannah Fullerton © 2017 3 https://susannahfullerton.com.au Island and was happy to return there. Her father died in 1900, but Maud saw little of him in his last years. Her first poem appeared in print when she was 16. This set her on ‘the Alpine Path’ to fame as a writer – it was not an easy road for her, but she persevered. She studied for her teacher’s certificate in Charlottetown, then began to teach. In order to fit in writing time, she got up at 6am, wrapped herself in coats, and wrote. She went to Nova Scotia to do a course in literature at Dalhousie College (which becomes Redmond in her novels). By this time she was getting regular payments for stories and poems. However, her grandparents needed her back in Cavendish. Her grandfather died, leaving a complicated will which left Maud and her grandmother struggling to hold on to their home. Had Maud been born a boy, there would not have been a problem. Maud became assistant postmistress and lived in Cavendish for the next 13 years of her life so that she could care for her grandmother (apart from one year working for a newspaper). She found 2 pen-pals - Ephraim Weber, and a man in Scotland called George Macmillan, and kept up these epistolary friendships for the rest of her life. Life with her grandmother was hard – she had to disguise her real feelings, do many domestic chores, keep her job and find time to write (stern women, such as Marilla Cuthbert Lucy Maud Montgomery’s old room in the home of her MacNeill grandparents, Cavendish, ca.1880s. Courtesy University of Guelph Library and Elizabeth Murray, often appear in her books). Escaping into the dreams of childhood was one of the ways in which she coped. In 1906 she earned more than $700 for her writing. She was slim and attractive and adored clothes so dressed fashionably, and she received several proposals (even accepting one, but later breaking it off), but she was not satisfied with her life. “Isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?” L.M. Montgomery L.M. Montgomery and Anne of Green Gables Susannah Fullerton © 2017 4 https://susannahfullerton.com.au In 1906, when she was 32, Maud sat down to write a story. The idea came from a jotting in one of her notebooks: “Elderly couple apply to orphan asylum for a boy. By a mistake a girl is sent them.” It was a slight plot, but she turned it into magic by creating such a vivid girl – one who talked and talked, whose imagination was so intense, who responded so sensitively to the world of nature and who would enchant generations of readers for the next century. The book, Anne of Green Gables, was published in 1908 and astonished its creator by becoming a best- seller. One reviewer wrote: “Anne of Green Gables will appeal to only 3 classes of readers, those who have imagination, those who have some sense of that rarest of qualities, humour, and those who have not allowed themselves to grow old or to forget that once upon a time they were children.” Mark Twain was hugely impressed and wrote to tell her so. In the next 5 years the book went through 32 editions and Maud sat down to write a sequel, Anne of Avonlea. That was followed by Anne of the Island (1915), Anne’s House of Dreams (1917), Rainbow Valley (1919) and Rilla of Ingleside (1920). Maud felt that 6 books about one girl were quite enough, but her adoring public did not agree, so she had to go back into Anne’s life and write Anne of Windy Willows (also known in the USA as Anne of Windy Poplars) in 1936 and Anne of Ingleside in 1939. She was very sick of Anne by the time she was finished. Rilla of Ingleside was written as a tribute to the young women of Canada during World War I and remains one of the finest books ever written about that war and its effect on the women waiting at home. There were other books when she needed a break from Anne. The Story Girl (this was her own favourite amongst her books) appeared in 1911, Kilmeny of the Orchard in 1910 (a charming book about a girl who cannot speak), The Golden Road in 1913, and The Alpine Path (about her own career as a writer) in 1917. L.M. Montgomery and Anne of Green Gables Susannah Fullerton © 2017 5 https://susannahfullerton.com.au In 1911 her grandmother died and this finally left Maud free to marry. She had met the Reverend Ewen (Maud always spelled his name Ewan, instead of Ewen) Macdonald 5 years before and got engaged to him when she was 32. It was no romantic love affair – she felt life would be safe and respectable with him. They married in 1911 in her uncle’s Cavendish home and went to England on honeymoon. Maud had done some travel in America – visiting Boston and the homes of Louisa May Alcott and Emerson, for example, but travel always made her realise that her real home was Prince Edward Island. Rev. Ewan Macdonald, 1910. Courtesy University of Guelph Library The couple went to live in Leaskdale, Ontario, where Ewan had the local manse (now the L.M. Montgomery Leaskdale Manse Museum). That was their home for 15 years, then they lived in Norval, near Toronto, for another 9 years (today there is a memorial garden to her there). Maud conscientiously did her duty as minister’s wife, although the congregation did not Leaskdale Manse in Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada. The home of always approve of their minister’s wife LM Montgomery when she wrote 11 of the 22 works published writing made-up stories. She struggled with during her lifetime. the Presbyterian religion – her own religious views were vague and rather pantheistic. The couple had 2 sons, Chester and Stuart (plus one stillborn baby in 1914). Visits home to Prince Edward Island refreshed her spirits and all her books except The Blue Castle are set on PEI. Her married life was a difficult one – Ewan suffered from depression and religious persecution mania, something that was not openly discussed in those days. “Those whom the Gods wish to destroy they make minister’s wives”, she once wrote. In 1938 she suffered a nervous breakdown. Writing was a solace and escape from her domestic problems. In 1919 a film was made of Anne of Green Gables – incredibly, considering it was about a heroine who talked so much, it was a silent movie. Maud got no money from the film rights – no-one thought of such things in contracts in 1908. A later version with sound did not appeal to her at all. L.M. Montgomery and Anne of Green Gables Susannah Fullerton © 2017 6 https://susannahfullerton.com.au Anne of Green Gables (1919) is a silent film directed by William Desmond Taylor based upon the novel, Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery.

  • How LM Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables Contributed to Polish Solidarity
    Beyond Philology No. 14/4, 2017 ISSN 1732-1220, eISSN 2451-1498 Canadian utopia in Poland: How L. M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables contributed to Polish Solidarity SHAWNA GUENTHER Received 7.10.2017, received in revised form 30.11.2017, accepted 11.12.2017. Abstract L. M. Montgomery’s 1908 novel, Anne of Green Gables, about a young, socially-awkward Nova Scotian girl adopted by a family in Prince Edward Island, a novel that expresses the sentiments of the North American “New Woman” movement and markedly exhibits post-colonialist imperialism, has produced a young heroine who stands in solidarity with civil resistance in occupied Poland. Given that Montgomery was descendent of the white English/Scottish Protestant invader culture on PEI, complicit in the marginalization and deportation of French settlers and in the annihilation (literally and metaphorically) of the indigenous Mi’kmaq, the idealistic trans- formation of Montgomery’s famous Anne character into a symbol of political defiance seems, to me, incredible. In this article, I illustrate the utopic vision that Montgomery, and indeed Anne herself, create on Prince Edward Island and examine how that isolated, island uto- pia, and Anne become transfixed into heroic visions in war-time Po- land.

It is a tribute to Montgomery's writing and indeed her depiction of landscape, that, as part of her intensely subjective descriptions, so much detail from 'real' life was included, so naturally.

  • Looking Glass Lore: Jeffrey Canton - Why Canadian Writers Love Emily of New Moon ! Looking Glass Lore
    The Looking Glass : New Perspectives on Children’s Literature - !17 - Vol 2, No 3 (1998) Looking Glass Lore: Jeffrey Canton - Why Canadian Writers Love Emily of New Moon ! Looking Glass Lore Jeffrey Canton, editor ! Why Canadian Writers Love Emily of New Moon by Jeffery Canton ! One of the most interesting chapters in Arlene Perly Rae's Everybody's Favourites: Canadians Talk About Books That Changed Their Lives focuses on L.M. Montgomery's Emily trilogy -- Emily of New Moon (1923), Emily Climbs (1925) and Emily's Quest (1927). Adult novelists Alice Munro, Anne Shortall and Jane Urquhart, critic Val Ross, children's book writers Budge Wilson and Kit Pearson all eloquently describe the effect that these three books had on their subsequent careers as writers. In Writing Stories, Making Pictures: Biographies of 150 Canadian Children's Authors and Illustrators, Mary Alice Downie and Claire Mackay also testify to the influence of the Emily books. There is little doubt that L.M. Montgomery is the single most influential writer in the Canadian children's literature canon. Over and over again, children's and adult writers alike cite her 1908 classic, Anne of Green Gables and its sequels as well as books like The Blue Castle, Jane of Lantern Hill and The Story Girl. But it is the Emily books that seem to have had the most pervasive influence on contemporary Canadian writers. In Sheila Egoff's classic overview of Canadian children's literature, The Republic of Childhood, Anne of Green Gables is the only one of Montgomery's works included in Egoff's evaluation, and Anne herself receives only the most cursory of nods.

  • View That Includes Their Perceptions of Time, in Which Their Own Future Is Naturally Hidden from Them
    Reading In and Out of Order: Living In and Around an Extended Fiction DOI https://doi.org/10.32393/jlmms/2020.0001 Published on Fri, 01/24/2020 - 00:00 Many series books recount the life of a character growing up over a sequence of titles, offering a strong sense of clear progression. Readers, however, may encounter this series out of order, or they may encounter numerous adapted versions of a story. Either way, they have to decide their own interpretative priorities. Back to top Introduction The concept of a sequence implies an orderly progression. A series of books conveys the sense of a logical advancement through a character’s life or a succession of events, intelligibly assembled into a system that is sometimes even numbered for maximum clarity. Such a sequence of novels frequently uses time as an organizer—either moving through part of a character’s lifespan or manipulating the calendar to run on a repeat cycle through (for example) Nancy Drew’s eighteenth summer. We know that life is not as tidy as the stories conveyed in books. But, in the case of series, even the material presentation of the books is misleading; despite the neat row of ascending numbers on the books’ spines, readers encounter a series of titles in partial, messy, sometimes consuming, and sometimes unsatisfying ways. Furthermore, in the clutter and circularity of contemporary culture, book series in their pristine order on the shelf frequently do not represent the only versions of characters and events. Media adaptations, publishers’ reworkings, fan variations, and a plethora of consumables all offer forms of what we might call “re- presentation,” and there is no telling what route through this busy landscape of reiteration any particular reader may take, or what version of the story they may encounter before reaching the original version.

  • Views and Mementoes of Her Children’S Early Years, and Several More Containing Her Own Mementoes Or Souvenirs
    Cutting and Pasting: What L.M. Montgomery’s Island Scrapbooks Reveal about Her Reading DOI https://doi.org/10.32393/jlmms/2021.0008 Published on Mon, 04/05/2021 - 06:49 The text below is an introduction to and synopsis of “Cutting and Pasting: What L.M. Montgomery’s Island Scrapbooks Reveal about Her Reading,” a paper (available below in video form) first presented to the L.M. Montgomery international conference L.M. Montgomery and Reading in June 2018 and recorded on 31 July 2018 at the University of Prince Edward Island. An Introduction to Cutting and Pasting As most of us know, L.M. Montgomery was a record-keeper of the first order—in her volumes of journals and hundreds of letters, as well as in a number of scrapbooks, twelve of which contain the bulk of her published stories and poems. She also kept scrapbooks of her own book reviews and mementoes of her children’s early years, and several more containing her own mementoes or souvenirs. All of these scrapbooks are kept either in the University of Guelph Library Archival and Special Collections or at the Confederation Centre of the Arts in Charlottetown. Montgomery kept two scrapbooks of souvenirs during her Cavendish years (c. 1893–1911), the years in which she was beginning to publish many poems and stories and, eventually, her first novels, including Anne of Green Gables (1908). These scrapbooks, known as Montgomery’s Island Scrapbooks, are identified by the colours of their covers: the Blue Scrapbook and the Red Scrapbook. They are among many Montgomery items now kept in the Confederation Centre of the Arts.

    Re-visioning Emily of New Moon: Family Melodrama for the Nation • Christopher Gittings • Resume: L'arlicle analyse la problematique de I''adaptation televisuelle de I'oeuvre litteraire de L.M. Montgomery dans Ie contexte de I'elaboration de la culture natio- nals au Canada anglais: dans I 'ensemble, les adaptations pour la television valori- sent cet ecrivain en tant que figure d'une culture populaire compatible avec la percep- tion actuelle de I'identite canadienne. Summary: Drawing on theories of culture, communication, nation and melodrama, this essay engages the problematic of adaptation from the literary to the televisual within the context of contemporary national culture. The paper suggests that pro- ducers of a contemporary national culture work to rehabilitate L.M. Montgomery as a national popular culture icon compatible with late-twentieth century Canadian imaginings of nation. ove over Anne, Emily has arrived. While images of the eponymous Mcharacter of Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables are im- pressed upon Prince Edward Island license plates, and while Anne is described by Canadian pop culture gurus Geoff Pevere and Greig Dymond as a Canadian "Mickey Mouse" at the nexus of a multimillion-dollar tourist trade, over the past year Emily Byrd Starr has received more media attention than her red- haired counterpart (Pevere and Dymond 13). The reason for this interest is, of course, the most recent commodification of Montgomery's work, the $13 mil- lion, thirteen-episode, Salter Street/CINAR co-production of the 1925 novel Emily of New Moon1 broadcast on CBC from January to April of 1998.

  • “Mute Misery”: Speaking the Unspeakable in L
    Chapter Six “Mute Misery”: Speaking the unspeakable in L. M. Montgomery’s Anne Books Hilary Emmett “Anne, you have talked even on for ten minutes by the clock,” said Marilla. “Now, just for curiosity’s sake, see if you can hold your tongue for the same length of time.” ~ Anne of Green Gables (93) “I was often very hungry before I came to Green Gables—at the orphanage…and before. I’ve never cared to talk of those days.” ~ Anne of Ingleside (245) When the orphaned Anne has mistakenly, but fortuitously, been left at Bright River station, the very first thing we learn about her is that she has, in the words of the stationmaster, “a tongue of her own, that’s for certain” (11). From this moment, Anne’s interaction with every new person she meets is characterized by her ceaseless chatter and her comical employment of all sorts of “big words” to express her even bigger ideas (15). Yet while Lucy Maud Montgomery’s series of Anne novels continually draw attention to her heroine’s prodigious gifts of verbal and written expression, there are some notable scores on which Anne remains if not precisely silent, then, at the very least, tongue-tied. In this chapter, I explore that which is repressed by the irrepressible Anne. Although repressed, ideas and events deemed unspeakable by Anne and her intimates nevertheless insinuate their way into their discourse and are eventually given textual enunciation. Traumatic events in the Anne novels present particular obstacles to free expression. Much is left unsaid in Montgomery’s rendering of such circumstances as Anne’s miserable childhood before she came to Green Gables, and her responses to the deaths which frame the series: that of her beloved father-figure Matthew in the first novel, and that of her son Walter, in the series’ final installment, Rilla of Ingleside.
