  • Anne of Green Gables
    Anne of Green Gables By Lucy Maude Montgomery Chapter 18: Anne to the Rescue ALL things great are wound up with all things little. At first glance it might not seem that the decision of a certain Canadian Premier to include Prince Edward Island in a political tour could have much or anything to do with the fortunes of little Anne Shirley at Green Gables. But it had. It was a January the Premier came, to address his loyal supporters and such of his nonsupporters as chose to be present at the monster mass meeting held in Charlottetown. Most of the Avonlea people were on Premier’s side of politics; hence on the night of the meeting nearly all the men and a goodly proportion of the women had gone to town thirty miles away. Mrs. Rachel Lynde had gone too. Mrs. Rachel Lynde was a red-hot politician and couldn’t have believed that the political rally could be carried through without her, although she was on the opposite side of politics. So she went to town and took her husband—Thomas would be useful in looking after the horse—and Marilla Cuthbert with her. Marilla had a sneaking interest in politics herself, and as she thought it might be her only chance to see a real live Premier, she promptly took it, leaving Anne and Matthew to keep house until her return the following day. Hence, while Marilla and Mrs. Rachel were enjoying themselves hugely at the mass meeting, Anne and Matthew had the cheerful kitchen at Green Gables all to themselves.

  • “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 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.

    Anne and Gilbert’s Falling in Love in L.M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables series Mia Johansson A60 Literary Seminar Autumn 2006 Department of English Centre for Languages and Literature Lund University Supervisor: C. Wadsö Lecaros Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself. He threshes you to make you naked. He sifts you to free you from your husks. He grinds you to whiteness. He kneads you until you are pliant; And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God’s sacred feast. All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become fragment of Life’s heart. ‘Kahlil Gibran’ (Dilman, x) Table of Contents Introduction 1 Ignition phase 2 Denial 7 Realisation 10 Outcome 12 Conclusion 15 Works Cited 16 Introduction Love is a word which is hard to describe and to analyse. Love is not a specific science nor is it something you can touch or see. In that sense love is ambiguous. To fall in love is a process, the process which leads up to the goal, which is love. Francesco Alberoni, a sociologist, has written I Love You and Falling in Love and Loving. His works deal mostly with love and due to his line of work he focuses predominantly on the impact of society.1 Alberoni’s theories, which are found in Falling in Love and Loving, concern the four phases he has identified for the process of falling in love: ignition phase, denial, realisation and outcome.

  • T. D. Mac Lulich Anne of Green Gables and the Regional Idyll in Early May of 1907 L. M. Montgomery Had Some Heady News for Her L
    T. D. Mac Lulich Anne of Green Gables and the Regional Idyll In early May of 1907 L. M. Montgomery had some heady news for her literary pen~friend Ephraim Weber. She was going to have a book published! "I am blatantly pleased and proud and happy," she announced, "and I shan't make any pretence of not being so." None~ theless, she modestly warned: "Don't stick up your ears now, imagin­ ing that the great Canadian novel has been written at last. Nothing of the sort. It is merely a juvenilish story, ostensibly for girls." But she quickly added: "I am not without hope that grown~ups may like it a little." 1 Indeed, the grown~ups did like her book. Soon after its publi­ cation, Montgomery commented on the respectful treatment that Anne of Green Gables had received from most of its reviewers: "I am surprised that they seem to take the book so seriously-as if it were meant for grown-up readers and not merely for girls."2 And she boasted that Mark Twain had written to her describing Anne as "the dearest and most lovable child in fiction since the immortal Alice.''J It is natural enough that young readers should like Montgomery's story of a high-spirited girl who gets into amusing scrapes but always wins adults over to her side in the end. Anne's appeal to adult readers may be harder to explain. Those who have not encountered Anne of Green Gables since childhood may remember the book just as a series of striking episodes: Anne's outrageous apology to Mrs.

  • Imagination & the Female Orphan Archetype in L. M. Montgomery's
    Benjamin: Imagination and the Female Orphan Archetype 1 Imagination & The Female Orphan Archetype in L. M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables By Claire Benjamin (Marylhurst University) I refer to stories woven from archetypal elements as “special stories.” It is useful to identify this special type of story as one that has the potential to act as an important psychological tool for individuals. Lucy Maud Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables is just such a narrative. The story’s archetypal nature lies in the title character Anne Shirley’s embodiment of the female orphan archetype. Anne engages with the world through a facility with archetypal qualities and powers that are often underrepresented and/or undervalued in our Western, capitalist, patriarchal culture. Anne’s special story shows how non-traditional types of power can support those who appear to be the most powerless. The female orphan archetype’s non-traditional powers include an avid curiosity about and passionate love of life, a determined belief in the inherent goodness of life, a well-tended relationship with nature, and an optimistic yet functional belief in possibility — all fueled and supported by a creative and skillful imagina- tion, which is the focus of this paper. At the beginning of the story, Anne is introduced to readers as, “a child of about eleven, garbed in a very short, very tight, very ugly dress of yellowish gray wincey . Her face was small, white and thin, also much freckled” (Montgome- ry 11). This description tells the reader that Anne is awkwardly dressed and is perhaps malnourished and undersized — an impoverished, orphaned, little fe- Western Tributaries vol.

  • Anne Program.Cwk
    Lucy Maud Montgomery Lucy Maud Montgomery was born in Clifton, Prince Edward Island, in 1874. Educated at Prince Edward College, Charlottetown, and Dalhousie University, she embarked on a career in teaching. From 1898 until 1911 she took care of her maternal grandmother in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, and during this time wrote many poems and stories for Canadian and American magazines. Montgomeryʼs first novel, Anne of Green Gables, met with immediate critical and popular acclaim, and its success, both national and international, led to seven sequels. Montgomeryʼs later trilogy of novels about another island orphan, Emily Byrd Starr is more autobiographical than the books about Anne. In 1911, Montgomery married the Rev. Ewan Macdonald, a Presbyterian clergyman, and they lived in Ontario, where he was the pastor of parishes in Leaskdale and, later, in Norval. They retired to Toronto in 1936. Lucy Maud Montgomery died in Toronto in 1942. Other Books by L .M .
