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. Key words utopia, Canada, children’s literature, Poland 98 Beyond Philology 14/4 Kanadyjska utopia w Polsce: Co Ania z Zielonego Wzgórza L. M.

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. -
“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. -

Anne of Green Gables a Wheelock Family Theatre Study Guide Prepared by Jeri Hammond
Anne of Green Gables a Wheelock Family Theatre Study Guide prepared by Jeri Hammond thanks and applause to The Yawkey Foundation sponsor of the student matinee series 200 The Riverway │ Boston, MA 02215-4176 box office: 617.879.2300 │ www.wheelockfamilytheatre.org Anne of Green Gables: The Story and the Musical Lucy Maud Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables is the story of feisty and imaginative Anne, an orphaned child who, under the care of an elderly sister and brother, finds acceptance, love, and a home. Anne has captured the hearts of readers since the book’s publication in 1908. Anne of Green Gables has since been published in sixty languages and has been made into television plays, a full-length motion picture, and the musical production you are about to see. The musical version was first staged at the Charlottetown Festival, Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada, in 1965 and proved an immediate hit. It is revived at the festival every year. The Author: Lucy Maud Montgomery Biographer Harry Bruce writes, “Born November 30, 1874, L.M. Montgomery spent her childhood in a rural farmhouse, like her beloved character Anne of Green Gables. Raised by strict, elderly guardians she had an early life full of loneliness and struggle; however, Maud had a secret dream: to become a writer.” To learn more about the life of L.M. Montgomery read: Looking for Anne of Green Gables: The Story of L.M. Montgomery and Her Literary Classic by Irene Gammel (2009) Lucy Maud Montgomery: The Gift of Wings by Mary Henley Rubio (2008) Maud: The Life of L.M. -

Anne of Ingleside Lucy Maud Montgomery Reviewed By: Bianca Sayuri, 17 Star Teen Book Reviewer of Be the Star You Are! Charity
Anne of Ingleside Lucy Maud Montgomery Reviewed by: Bianca Sayuri, 17 Star Teen Book Reviewer of Be the Star You Are! Charity www.bethestaryouare.org The sixth book in the Anne of Green Gables series takes place seven years after the fifth book. The story follows Anne and her five children as they all start to grow up at Ingleside, which is what they named their house at Four Winds. There are many interesting events to the plot concerning Anne’s children, and towards the end of the book she starts worrying that her husband does not love her anymore. Even though this story is centered around Anne and her kids, readers also get to know a bit about the lives of previous characters. I loved reading about Anne’s children and learning about their personalities and physical traits that they got from their parents. They all have something special to them, and it was great to see their relationships with everyone in the family. It had a refreshing feel to the series. It was also nice to read and know more about Anne and her relationship with her husband. This book is overall a sweet story that many people could enjoy. I think the target audience for this series is mostly girls and young women, but I would recommend this book to anyone over the age of 12. In addition, since the series was written so many years ago, there are quite a few times where the reader can feel like this is an old-fashioned story, and in certain ways it is.
