The year 2008 marked the 100th anniversary of Lucy Maud Montgomery's much-loved novel, Anne of Green Gables. To celebrate that milestone, Blackford (English, Rutgers U., Camden, New Jersey) has
assembled a collection of 12 papers by 13 international academics and independent scholars assessing the classic value of Montgomery's book by placing the novel in its original historical and
literary context, as well as by investigating the continuing aesthetic and cultural life of the novel in other times, places, and media. The text also includes a chronology of significant
events in Montgomery's life and career. For students, scholars, and fans of the novel. Distributed by Michigan State U. Press. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
