Here are some of the ways in which L.M. Montgomery and her work made news throughout July:
- “Anne Idea on P.E.I.” (a Charlottetown Guardian article on Elizabeth Epperly’s exhibit “This Anne Place: Anne of Green Gables as Idea, Book, and Musical”) (no longer online)
- “Musical on the Life of Anne of Green Gables Marks 50th Anniversary” (a Hamilton Spectator article on the half-centenary of Anne of Green Gables: The Musical)
- “Classic YA Discussion: Anne of Green Gables” on The Midnight Garden: YA for Adult (on the recent reissue of Montgomery’s novels by Sourcebooks Fire) (no longer online)
- “5 (Terrible) Life Lessons I Learned from the Author of Anne of Green Gables” from Women 24 (about some of Montgomery’s more troubling plot lines)
- “Embodying Character Series: An Interview with Ellen Denny, Part One” from Melanie J. Fishbane’s blog (a discussion about character and creativity between Melanie Fishbane, author of a forthcoming YA novel based on Montgomery’s teen years, and Ellen Denny, currently playing Anne in this summer’s staging of the musical Anne and Gilbert in Charlottetown) [followed by Part Two]
- “14 Times Anne of Green Gables Was Kind of a Feminist” from Bustle (an illuminating post, by Tori Telfer, that reveals why Anne remains a positive female role model for all readers)
