An Annotated Bibliography of the Stories and Poems of L. M. Montgomery

An Annotated Bibliography of the Stories and Poems of L. M. Montgomery

Compiled and Edited by Carolyn Strom Collins

Since Rea Wilmshurst’s bibliography of Montgomery’s stories and poems was published as part of Lucy Maud Montgomery: A Preliminary Bibliography (Russell, Russell, and Wilmshurst: University of Waterloo, 1986), several independent researchers have been searching for more citations. Now Wilmshurst’s original bibliography has been updated with hundreds of new citations, showing the depth and breadth of Montgomery’s publishing history.

In addition to updating Wilmshurst’s chronological bibliography, two more sections list the stories and poems – over 500 of each -- according to the hundreds of periodicals in which they were published. Selected annotations from Montgomery’s journals and letters provide context for many of the stories and poems.

Who ultimately is L.M. Montgomery, and why was there such an obsession with secrecy, hiding, and encoding in her life and fiction? Delving into the hidden life of Canada's most enigmatic writer, The Intimate Life of L.M. Montgomery answers these questions. The eleven essays illuminate Montgomery's personal writings and photographic self-portraits and probe the ways in which she actively shaped her life as a work of art. This is the first book to investigate Montgomery's personal writings, which filled thousands of pages in journals and a memoir, correspondence, scrapbooks, and photography.

Since the publication of Anne of Green Gables in 1908, L.M. Montgomery and the world of Anne have burgeoned into a global cultural phenomenon, popular not only in Canada, but in countries around the world, including Japan, the United States, and Iran. Making Avonlea, the first study to focus on Montgomery and her characters as popular cultural icons, brings together twenty-three scholars from around the world to examine Montgomery's work, its place in our imagination, and its myriad spinoffs including musicals, films, television series, T-shirts, dolls, and a tourist industry.

Featured Book: L.M Montgomery and Canadian Culture (1999)

Ed. Irene Gammel and Elizabeth Epperly.  
University of Toronto Press, 1999.  
(From UTP catalogue)

Despite the enormous popularity of her books, particularly Anne of Green Gables, L.M. Montgomery's role in the development of Canada's national culture is not often discussed by literary historians. This is curious since some of Canada's leading writers, including Margaret Atwood, Alice Munro, and Jane Urquhart, have all acknowledged their indebtedness to Montgomery's fiction.
