Summary:
"For more than 100 years, L.M.
Montgomery
's Anne Shirley, Emily Byrd Starr, Rilla Blythe, and a host of other fictional characters have captured generations of readers. The ways their fictional lives and cultures include or exclude the First World
War
provide insight into Canadian literary history and the Canadian historical experience of
war
, especially on the homefront. Born in 1874,
Montgomery
was forever marked by
war
: like millions of others of her generation world-wide, she would suffer suspense and grief, and like millions of others, she would work actively for the
war
's cause. Rilla of Ingleside, her
war
novel, both reflected and shaped Canada's cultural memories of the First World
War
, while her poetry and post-war works more subtly draw on the
war
's influences. The Blythes Are Quoted, her final work, savagely indicts
war
and its impact - or does it? This problematic text and others from the end of
Montgomery
's life are marked by the oncoming shadows of the Second World
War
. She died in 1942, before seeing an end to the global warfare of that terrible epoch. L.M.
Montgomery
and
War
re-assesses
Montgomery
's place in the
war
canon and the Canadian literary canon, drawing on new scholarship and perspectives from the still-burgeoning, interdisciplinary fields of
war
studies. From literary studies to historical studies, gender studies and visual art, this volume explores a multitude of perspectives and questions about
Montgomery
's writing and
war
."--Provided by publisher.
