The Event

The ninth Conversations About L.M. Montgomery event consists of a presentation by Mary Beth Cavert, whose contributions to Montgomery studies include founding and co-editing The Shining Scroll, the newsletter of the L.M. Montgomery Literary Society of Minnesota. In this presentation, Cavert shares parts of her ongoing research projects on the friends and family members to whom L.M. Montgomery dedicated her books, with a particular focus on G.B. MacMillan of Alloa, Scotland, to whom Montgomery dedicated Emily of New Moon. Their forty-year correspondence reveals a unique intellectual connection between them, in spite of the fact that they met in person only once during that time.
