Förlagets beskrivning
The Canadian writer Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942) has long been overlooked by the literary establishment and there exists to date no full-length study containing interpretation or close readings of her texts. The aim of this study, which is the first of two volumes, is to elucidate Montgomery's female content, concentrating upon the development of the creative female artist. By close reading of Montgomery's texts from a feminist point of view, a line of research which has not been tried on these texts before, this study seeks to find new roads into her fictional work and to uncover those parts of Montgomery's texts that remain muted or un-read when applying traditional methods. Part 1 contains background information on Montgomery as well as reviews of previous research and of methods employed. An attempt to shed light on the Canadian literary scene and Montgomery's exclusion from it is also included. Part 2 offers a close reading of Montgomery's first novel, "Anne of Green Gables" (1908), with the help of methods taken mainly from feminist literary criticism. Such aspects as female socialization, education and ambition as well as matriarchal traits found in Avonlea are focused upon. Volume 1 concludes with a close reading of "Anne's House of Dreams" (1918) with special emphasis on Montgomery's depiction of marriage. (Bookdata)
