Anne's World : A New Century of 'Anne of Green Gables' Hardback
by Irene Gammel, Benjamin Lefebvre
Hardback
Description
The recent 100 year anniversary of the first publication of L.M.
Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables has inspired renewed interest in one of Canada's most beloved fictional icons.
The international appeal of the red-haired orphan has not diminished over the past century, and the cultural meanings of her story continue to grow and change.
The original essays in Anne's World offer fresh and timely approaches to issues of culture, identity, health, and globalization as they apply to Montgomery's famous character and to today's readers. In conversation with each other and with the work of previous experts, the contributors to Anne's World discuss topics as diverse as Anne in fashion, the global industry surrounding Anne, how the novel can be used as a tool to counteract depression, and the possibility that Anne suffers from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
Anne in translation and its adaptation for film and television are also considered.
By establishing new ways to examine one of popular culture's most beloved characters, the essays of Anne's World demonstrate the timeless and ongoing appeal of L.M.
Montgomery's writing.
