And for girls with mirror friends and "hungry, tempestuous hearts." iii ABSTRACT Maud is a two-act play based on the early journals of L. M. Montgomery. Maud tells a different story from the still-frequent parallel drawn between the narrative of Anne of Green Gables and the author's personal history. As it interrogates the faith invested in the idealized figure of Anne, the play illuminates the darker, more complicated aspects of a life often simplified and glorified. Narrating and steering us through the story of her youth is LMM: Montgomery as a middle-aged bride-to-be in 1911. About to depart Prince Edward Island, she lingers in memories of the past, accompanied by her younger selves, the girl MAUDIE and the young woman MAUD. As she relives her abandonment by her father, her stifling Calvinist upbringing, the loss of childhood friends, and a painful, passionate love affair, LMM attempts to resign herself to the future, leaving behind forever the bittersweet idealism of her girlhood. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my indebtedness to Ruth and David MacDonald, the Heirs of L.M. Montgomery, and to Professors Mary Rubio and Elizabeth Waterston at the University of Guelph, without whose diligent editorship of The Selected Journals ofL. M. Montgomery this play would never have been written. Thanks as well to Professor Cecily Devereux at the University of Alberta, who supervised my undergraduate academic thesis on Montgomery. I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to my supervisor and examining committee, and to those colleagues, friends and family who have contributed to Maud with their opinions and advice. Thanks especially to my grandparents, David and Patricia Stothart, for enabling me to travel to Prince Edward Island, and to Kirstie McCallum for showing me the original Anne of Green Gables manuscript and other of Montgomery's possessions at the Confederation Centre Art Gallery in Charlottetown.

Dim lights rise on an empty farmhouse interior. All the furnishings have been stripped; the furniture has been pushed back and covered in white sheets. At stage right, below a window, is a wooden writing desk. It is the only uncovered piece of furniture in the room. On the floor in front of the desk are stacks of letters and books. Lying open on top of it is a large, careworn journal. Music stops. LMM enters. She looks around, seemingly unable to speak or move. But then she walks over to the desk and kneels among the letters. As LMM picks up one letter, then another, we start to hear voices. They are distinct at first, then jumbled and overlapping. A silhouette appears. It is YOUNG ANNE, standing in profile. As the voices continue and YOUNG ANNE's silhouette slowly grows larger, LMM sinks her head in her hand. VOICE OF MARK TWAIN Dear Miss Montgomery. She is the sweetest creation of child life yet written, the dearest, most lovable child in fiction since the immortal Alice. Yours admiringly, Mark Twain. VOICE OF BLISS CARMAN My dear Miss Montgomery. While the young people are rummaging all over the house looking for Anne, the head of the family has carried her off to read on his way to town! My sincere regards and congratulations, Bliss Carman. FEMALE VOICE, CHILD Is Anne a real girl? 2 RADIO ANNOUNCER Putting Cavendish and Prince Edward Island on the map, Anne of Green Gables, beloved by thousands of readers, has just been translated into Swedish and Dutch. FEMALE VOICE, ADULT I want to tell you how much my little girl loves Anne. I found her with Green Gables the other day and I said, "Child, how often have you read that book?" And she said "Oh mother, I don't know. I just keep it and my bible together and read a chapter of both every day." FEMALE VOICE, CHILD Is Anne a real girl? FEMALE VOICE, TEEN Oh Anne, I wish I was like you! VOICE OF MARILLA You blessed girl! FEMALE VOICE, CHILD To Miss Anne Shirley, Green Gables, Avonlea, Prince Edward Island. Dear Anne. I adore you. I want to be just like you when I grow up. I hope you marry Gilbert Blythe. MALE AND FEMALE VOICES, YOUNG AND OLD, DIFFERENT ACCENTS (Jumbled.) Miss Montgomery! Miss Montgomery! Is Anne a real girl? Miss Montgomery! Oh Anne, I wish I was like you! Is Anne a real girl? Miss Montgomery! Is Anne a real girl? Miss Montgomery! The jumbled voices become interspersed with music, which becomes a minor key version of the wedding march. Suddenly, LMM stands. The letters fall from her lap; the voices and music stop. LMM This is what they want of me... what they see. The famous authoress, the success story. My life, my accomplishments, an extension..

Anne of Green Gables: New Directions at 100. Toronto: University of Toronto Press. Jason Nolan, PhD School of Early Childhood Education Ryerson University Here, too, the ethical responsibility of the school on the social side must be interpreted in the broadest and freest spirit; it is equivalent to that training of the child which will give him such possession of himself that he may take charge of himself; may not only adapt himself to the changes that are going on, but have power to shape and direct them. -- John Dewey1 In L.M. Montgomery’s Anne of Avonlea (1909), sixteen-year-old Anne Shirley articulates a progressive pedagogical attitude that seems to coincide with Dewey’s Moral Principles in Education, published the same year: ‘No, if I can’t get along without whipping I shall not try to teach school. There are better ways of managing. I shall try to win my pupils’ affections and then they will want to do what I tell them.’2 Drawing from her own childhood experience depicted in Anne of Green Gables, fledgling teacher Anne describes a schooling experience that would treat the student as she once wished to be treated. As a child, Anne embodied the model of a self-directed learner who actively engaged with her physical and social environment, making meaning and constructing her own identity and understanding of the world, indeed creating a world in which she could live.

  • A Third Wave Feminist Re-Reading of Anne of Green Gables Maria Virokannas University of Tampere English
    The Complex Anne-Grrrl: A Third Wave Feminist Re-reading of Anne of Green Gables Maria Virokannas University of Tampere English Philology School of Modern Languages and Translation Studies Tampereen yliopisto Englantilainen filologia Kieli- ja käännöstieteenlaitos Virokannas, Maria: The Complex Anne-Grrrl: A Third Wave Feminist Re-reading of Anne of Green Gables Pro gradu -tutkielma, 66 sivua + lähdeluettelo Syksy 2011 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tämän pro gradu -tutkielman tavoitteena oli selvittää voidaanko Lucy Maud Montgomeryn 1908 ilmestyneestä romaanista Anne of Green Gables löytää kolmannen aallon feminismin piirteitä. Erityisesti tutkin löytyykö romaanista piirteitä ristiriitaisuudesta ja sen omaksumisesta ja individualismin ideologiasta, feministisestä ja positiivisesta äitiydestä sekä konventionaalisen naisellisuuden etuoikeuttamisesta. Tutkielmani teoreettinen kehys muodostuu feministisestä kirjallisuuden tutkimuksesta, painottuen kolmannen aallon feministiseen teoriaan. Erityisesti feminististä äitiyttä tutkittaessa tutkielman kulmakivenä on Adrienne Richin teoria äitiydestä, jota Andrea O'Reilly on kehittänyt. Tämän teorian mukaan äitiys on toisaalta miesten määrittelemä ja kontrolloima, naista alistava instituutio patriarkaalisessa yhteiskunnassa, toisaalta naisten määrittelemä ja naiskeskeinen positiivinen elämys, joka potentiaalisesti voimauttaa naisia. Kolmannen aallon feminismi korostaa eroja naisten välillä ja naisissa itsessään,

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.

    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.

  • Anne of Green Gables: an Annotated Bibliography
    Anne of Green Gables: an annotated bibliography Barbara Carman Garner and Mary Harker Introduction Anne of Green Gables is now an octogenarian, but to adolescents she is still the starry-eyed orphan girl who comes to make her home with Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert in Avonlea, Prince Edward Island. Montgomery herself has appeared from the shadows of her past to tell us more about her own fears and aspirations, in the two published volumes of journals. New insights provided by these journals reveal that much of the material written on Arzrze of Green Gables and its author prior to the 1960's gave a very slanted and romantic view. Commenting on one reviewer's remark that "the book radiates happi- ness and optimism", Montgomery wrote in her journal on October 15, 1908, "When I think of the conditions of worry and gloom under which it was writ- ten I wonder at this. Thank God, I can keep the shadows of my own life out of my work. I would not wish to darken any other life -I want instead to be a messenger of optimism and sunshine." Now, eighty years after the first pub- lication of Anne of Green Gables in 1908, we can view Anne and her creator in a new perspective, and appreciate even more this "gift of happiness" from Montgomery to her readers. As a tribute to Montgomery's literary achievement we have prepared this annotated bibliography of material related to Anne of Green Gables, the book which established Montgomery's place as popular writer of Canadian fiction.

  • 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 .
