Description
Book SynopsisA repositioning of L.M. Montgomery and her work within Ontario, where she spent almost half her life.
Trade Review" With its interest in placing Montgomery' s work in new cultural and historical contexts, L.M. Montgomery' s Rainbow Valleys expands our understanding of this canonical Canadian author. Although there is no disputing that PEI had an enduring impact on Montgomery's literary sensibility, Ontario played its part too, as the essays in this collection abundantly reveal." Janice Fiamengo, University of Ottawa " Coherent and well-structured, L.M. Montgomery' s Rainbow Valleys breaks new ground with its singular focus on the Ontario years. It will unquestionably command the attention of an academic audience, but is also accessible to the general reader who has an interest in Montgomery or in Canadian culture." Joy Alexander, Queen' s University, Belfast " L.M. Montgomery' s Rainbow Valleys is important because it resists Montgomery' s own obsessive returns to Prince Edward Island, as well as those of her readers and critics. The collection remains grounded in her Ontario experience, demonstrating its influence on all the writing she did in the second half of her life." The Times Literary Supplement
