Lucy Maud's Island Lucy Maud's Island by F.W.P. Bolger The occasion of the following address was the Annual Meeting of the Belfast Historical Society, held at the Belfast Consolidated School on November 26, 1976. The large crowd in attendance was treated to a very special combination of talents — the Island's most popular public speaker and historian, F.W.P. Bolger, talking about the Is- land's most famous and beloved author, Lucy Maud Montgomery. Professor Bolger was intro- duced by Mary Ross and thanked by Dan Compton. The lecture was tape recorded and transcribed as follows: Mir . Chairman; members of the Belfast Historical Society: it is indeed a pleasure for me to be here this evening. 1 can guarantee you one thing: when I am invited to come there will be a storm. Not a personal storm, I think, that I create But I was here the latter part of April to address the Lion's Club and we had a vicious storm; the roads were desperate; we were almost here for the night. This afternoon when I looked outside as I was getting ready to go to Mr. Baglole and his wife's for a very lovely supper — and you should all try to get invited there, it's just delightful — I said, oh, storm again! First of all, before I begin my remarks on Lucy Maud Montgomery, I would just like to say how pleased I am to be invited to speak to the Belfast Historical Society because, as your President has pointed out, this Society and any others — and there are so few others like it — are so very, very important for an appreciation and an understanding of the Island. We have, even in this small province, engaged in too much centrali- zation and consolidation, and it's nice to see the de-centralizing and de- consolidating which is happening once again. This Historical Society is certainly an example of it; and as your President said, I can think of no part of the Island where the history is more full of memorable events than this area, ex- tending from here throughout the coun- tryside to Orwell and beyond. I con- gratulate those of you who were instru- mental in establishing the Society, and I wish you every success in the future.

  • Looking Glass Lore: Jeffrey Canton - Why Canadian Writers Love Emily of New Moon ! Looking Glass Lore
    The Looking Glass : New Perspectives on Children’s Literature - !17 - Vol 2, No 3 (1998) Looking Glass Lore: Jeffrey Canton - Why Canadian Writers Love Emily of New Moon ! Looking Glass Lore Jeffrey Canton, editor ! Why Canadian Writers Love Emily of New Moon by Jeffery Canton ! One of the most interesting chapters in Arlene Perly Rae's Everybody's Favourites: Canadians Talk About Books That Changed Their Lives focuses on L.M. Montgomery's Emily trilogy -- Emily of New Moon (1923), Emily Climbs (1925) and Emily's Quest (1927). Adult novelists Alice Munro, Anne Shortall and Jane Urquhart, critic Val Ross, children's book writers Budge Wilson and Kit Pearson all eloquently describe the effect that these three books had on their subsequent careers as writers. In Writing Stories, Making Pictures: Biographies of 150 Canadian Children's Authors and Illustrators, Mary Alice Downie and Claire Mackay also testify to the influence of the Emily books. There is little doubt that L.M. Montgomery is the single most influential writer in the Canadian children's literature canon. Over and over again, children's and adult writers alike cite her 1908 classic, Anne of Green Gables and its sequels as well as books like The Blue Castle, Jane of Lantern Hill and The Story Girl. But it is the Emily books that seem to have had the most pervasive influence on contemporary Canadian writers. In Sheila Egoff's classic overview of Canadian children's literature, The Republic of Childhood, Anne of Green Gables is the only one of Montgomery's works included in Egoff's evaluation, and Anne herself receives only the most cursory of nods.

  • “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's House of Dreams Montgomery, Lucy Maud Published: 1917 Categorie(s): Fiction, Romance Source: http://www.gutenberg.org 1 About Montgomery: Lucy Maud Montgomery CBE, (always called "Maud" by fam- ily and friends) and publicly known as L. M. Montgomery, (November 30, 1874–April 24, 1942) was a Canadian author, best known for a series of novels beginning with Anne of Green Gables, published in 1908. Once published, Anne of Green Gables was an immediate success. The central character, Anne, an orphaned girl, made Montgomery famous in her life- time and gave her an international following. The first novel was followed by a series of sequels with Anne as the central character. The novels became the basis for the highly ac- claimed 1985 CBC television miniseries, Anne of Green Gables and several other television movies and programs, including Road to Avonlea, which ran in Canada and the U.S. from 1990-1996.

In memoriam, Carol Gaboury Carol Gaboury, a member of the LMM Literary Society for eight years, died suddenly in early July. Although Carol lived in eastern Wisconsin, she faithfully kept in touch with our group's news and interests. A fan of L. M. Montgomery since she was "Anne's age," Carol had made several trips to Prince Edward Island and had collected books, articles, pictures, and other items related to Montgomery and her work since 1975. She also corresponded regularly with many other people interested in Montgomery (including Wilda Clark for 15 years) and always knew what was going on in the world of L. M. Montgomery. Carol was a frequent contributor in the original Kindred Spirits (of Vermont) Newsletter in the late 1980s. She compiled book lists and sources for book orders before Montgomery's books were reprinted and became widely available, she wrote a review of The Blue Castle, her favorite book, and a review of Sullivan Productions films. She wrote an essay, "L.M. Montgomery -- Poet," and, in response to a reader's question, provided a copy of the 1942 Saturday Night article about LMM's last poem, "The Piper."

  • L.M. Montgomery: at Home in Poland
    L.M. Montgomery: at home in Poland Barbara Wachowicz When I stood on the stage of the Musical Theatre in Cracow - the ancient capital of Poland - after the first performance, in winter 1982, of our musical stage play based on L.M. Montgomery's The Blue Castle, I ad- dressed the audience: "My Dear Friends! Where do we meet here today? What is this enchanted 'Blue Castle' of our dreams? For us, it is our home. We meet here as the guests of the great Canadian writer Lucy Maud Montgomery, in a home created by her imagination. "Once there was a time when the bloody glow of September 1939 spread out over Polish homes. In that year, Lucy Maud Montgomery's son, E. Stuart Macdonald, noticed that his mother suddenly turned grey and her hands began to shake so that she could hardly hold a pen. In 1942, the year of her death, L.M. Montgomery wrote to ask her long-time friend Ephraim Weber, to whom she had once dedicated The Blue Castle, 'what will happen to the world?' "In 1944, when Stuart, by then a doctor on a British warship, fought for a better world, a young Polish boy scout going along Warsaw streets to join the August uprising, managed to send a letter to his father over the barricades: 'Daddy, we are passing away one after another like stones thrown by the hand of God against the barricades. But the stones are not being thrown into the void, not being wasted. We are standing firm, raising the walls of a big house ...It does not matter if we die, as long as this house, our Polish home, will stand."' The Cracow audience at the 1982 premiere of The Blue Castle gave me a standing ovation when I reminded them of that Polish boy's words; and Larissa Blavatska, of the Canadian Embassy, told me - in Polish - on that night: "We all love home, no matter whether it is called the Blue Castle, Green Gables, Canada, or Poland."
