Popis: [Extract] In this reader of previously uncollected materials, Benjamin Lefebvre sheds new light on L.M. Montgomery, a figure described by Irene Gammel as 'Canada's most enigmatic literary icon' (p. 5). In this first volume Lefebvre gathers eighty pieces ranging in date from the publication of Anne of Green Gables in 1908 until shortly after Montgomery's death in 1942. These materials include essays and letters written by Montgomery herself for various newspapers and periodicals, as well as a large collection of interviews and author profiles written about her that were published throughout her career. Many of these articles are hard to locate and largely inaccessible to the general public and scholarly community, ensuring that much of the content of this reader will be new even to long-standing Montgomery scholars and enthusiasts. Continuing in this vein, the second volume in this series, titled A Critical Heritage, will focus on reprinting 'milestones (p. 6) in Montgomery scholarship; the third, titled A Legacy in Review, will compile book reviews on Montgomery's work from newspapers, magazines and journals.
