The Annotated Anne of Green Gables Hardcover L. M. Montgomery

Description: Fine/Like New copy in VG Dust Jacket. First Edition Hardcover, tight binding, clean unmarked pages and boards. Unclipped dust jacket and spine have minimal wear on edges, no chips or tears, just some wrinkling. Since its publication in 1908, Anne of Green Gables has been a continuous international best-seller, captivating readers with the charms of its remarkable heroine, Anne Shirley. The wildly imaginative, loquacious red-head tries to fit into the narrow confines of Victorian expectations, but her exuberant spirit keeps leaping beyond the bounds. When Maud Montgomery created Anne, she traded the sermonizing formulas and self-sacrificing, conformist heroines of her time, for a much more modern and complex portrait that resonates with readers to this day. This first--and still most comprehensive--annotated edition of Anne of Green Gables, is richly illustrated, and features hundreds of notes describing the real-life characters and settings Anne encounters, the autobiographical connections between Anne and Maud Montgomery, as well as the novel's astonishing range of literary, biblical, and mythological references. Additional essays offer fascinating background information on such topics as the geography and settlement of Prince Edward Island; the education, orphanages, music, and literature of Anne's time; and the horticulture, homemade artifacts, and food preparation that are so prevalent in the story. This edition also contains a chronology of Montgomery's life, an extensive bibliography, songs and poems that appear in the text, and a selection of original reviews of the book. This wealth of material enables readers to appreciate how multi-layered the novel is, and offers a unique perspective on both Anne's world and our own.
