Looking for Anne of Green Gables: The Story of L. M.… par Irene Gammel

Nathan bought this for me tonight at Book Passage! Of course, I was clutching it to my bosom and making hissing noises at anybody who tried to take it from me...

Looking for Anne of Green Gables: The Story of L. M.… par Irene Gammel

This book was a huge disappointment. I have been in love with Anne since 4th grade, when I read all eight books. This author seems to suggest that L.M. Montgomery was a psychologically warped closet lesbian. Oftentimes, I would rather not know about the personal life of an author, actor, performer, etc. whose work I really admire, because after I find out more about them, their work is forever colored. That said, I don't necessarily believe Irene Gammel's conclusions about L.M. Montgomery . . .

Looking for Anne of Green Gables: The Story of L. M.… par Irene Gammel

Good, in the sense that I love Anne of Green Gables and was interested to find out more about L. M. Montgomery. But the writing is very academic, and the author over-reaches a bit (the discovery that Montgomery used a magazine photo as inspiration is not quite the massive relevation that she seems to think it is).

Making Avonlea: L.M. Montgomery and Popular Culture par Irene Gammel

As a L.M. Montgomery fan, I found this book to be both informative and interesting. With many chapters and approximately three hundred pages worth of essays about a large variety of topics, it would be the graduate student's dream to use, should the topic be relating to L.M. Montgomery's novels.

I am a casual consumer and an avid Montgomery fan, but found the articles to sometimes be dry, conflicting (as not all essay authors share opinions within the novel), and often found myself skimming or skipping chapters altogether. Should I ever want to read more about the psychology involved in the creation of a book cover for Emily of New Moon, or perhaps about the interest in hair from the characters within the novels, this will be a great resource for further education. As a novel for a person interested in a personal way rather than for academic needs, I would not generally recommend it. This is a good resource for the right situations, but not as great for casual reading.… (plus d'informations)
