  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Before Green Gables Anne of Green Gables
    Before Green Gables Anne of Green Gables 100th Anniversary Edition Scrapbooking Made Easy Scrapbooking is the creative preservation of your photographs and memorabilia in an acid-free, photo-safe manner. (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!). Remember only to crop photos for which you have negatives—never crop polaroids. Personal Trimmer—This allows you to cut perfectly straight lines every time! Need more ideas?

Montgomery. Adapted into over 40 multimedia projects since its publication, it has a significant historical and cultural presence. This research blends feminist media and literature analysis in an investigation of the representation of girlhood in Anne with an E, the 2017 to 2019 CBC & Netflix television program. This work focuses on Anne with an E, the Kevin Sullivan 1984 film, the 1934 George Nicholls Jr. film, and the original novel based on Anne’s Bildungsroman characteristics. Through the analysis of how Anne and the narrative interact with concepts of gender, race, class, sexuality, and ability status, emerges how the very definition of what it means to be a ‘girl’ and how it has changed.

  • 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.

(Washington Post)For the millions of readers who devoured the Green Gables series, Before Green Gables is an irresistible treat; the account of how one of literatures most beloved heroines became the girl who captivated the world. As an avid Anne of Green Gables fan, I was desperately wishing for some Anne material that I hadnt read six times already. This was a pretty good attempt on such material. I thought the author really captured Anne well, and thought up some really good back story material. The characters, even the bad ones, werent one-dimensional, so she didnt really make out Anne to be a victim which was so appreciated. However, the stories are very sad for the most part, and of course theyre missing just that spark that only L.M. Montgomery could put into them. Of course, it is fitting because Annes surroundings werent as charming and idyllic as they were in Montgomerys stories, so the book is a good fit into what we know of Annes background.

We started the trip with 19 rigs but unfortunately lost one in Monc- ton, New Brunswick ,due to an accident. No one was seriously injured, but we had to continue on with only 18 rigs. Some of the highlights of this trip included the Bay of Fundy with 25-foot tides, the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo, rides on the Bluenose II and Amoeba sailing vessels, whale watching tours, and some of the most beautiful and breathtaking scenery in the world. Some of our group even took a day trip to Labrador, while others sailed out of St. Anthony, Newfoundland, to view icebergs and whales. We enjoyed many caravan-sponsored dinners with lots of lobster and other seafood. This was an amazing trip which was made even more enjoyable by the outstanding people who traveled with us. Many thanks to all who contributed time and effort to make this a truly memorable trip.

    I US NOVUM 2/2014 H ANS EPHRAIMSON-ABT A NNA KONERT SWISSAIR 111 CRASH – CRISIS MANAGEMENT COOPERATION WHERE THERE IS NO CONTINGENCY PLAN 1. Introduction t 22:31 on 2 September 1998, Swissair Flight 111 from New York JFK to AGeneva crashed into the sea, five miles from the shores of St. Margaret’s Bay – near Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia, within the territorial waters of Canada. The cause of the crash was an electrical fire. The plane carried 229 passengers and crew from 16 countries, all of which were fatalities, as well as precious cargo. Rescue and recovery operations were started immediately during the night by local fishermen followed by the Canadian Coast Guard and the Navy. Over a period of two years more than two millions pieces of wreckage and body parts were recovered – brought to a Hangar at Shearwater for sorting, storage and processing. Lastly, a giant ship the Queen of the Netherlands was chartered to suck up a part of the ocean floor. Recovery tanks were used to sort out the silt. Aside from passengers and crew, Swissair flight 111 – which was dubbed “The UN Shuttle” – carried cargo including artworks, gold, diamonds and jewellery. Several years later the insurers applied for a treasure trove license because of missing valuables (diamonds). This operation came to the attention of the media and of the families. The treasure trove license was denied at that time by the Provincial Government of Nova Scotia1. 2. The immediate aftermath of the tragedy – investigation ince the tragedy occurred within the territorial waters of Canada the investi- Sgation into the crash was conducted by the Transportation Board of Canada 1 See Stephen Kimber, Flight 111, The Tragedy of the Swissair Crash, Seal Books, Toronto 1999.
