  • 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.

  • 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.

Orphaned as a baby, she was sent from one foster-home to the next, caring for other people's children even though she was but a child herself, and escaping from her dark reality through the power of her vivid imagination. Curious, inventive and outspoken, even at a young age, Anne battles to make a life for herself by searching out kindred spirits, finding solace in her books, and dreaming of the day she has a family of her own.

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.

  • “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.
