| L.M. Montgomery's Heroines and the Pursuit of Romance |
| Elizabeth Rollins Epperly |
Anne Shirley is the best known of a memorable group of
heroines created by Lucy Maud Montgomery, a group that
includes Emily Byrd Starr, Valancy Stirling, and Pat Gardiner.
These characters are at the centre of Epperly's book, the first
full-length critical study of all L. M. Montgomery's fiction.
Epperly contends that Montgomery was a master of the
romance genre, and through her use of literary allusions,
repetitions, irony, and comic inversions she deftly manipulated
the normal conventions of romance novels.
By studying the fictional biographies of the heroines and their
pursuit of romance, Epperly question the ways romance shapes
what we consider valuable in our imaginings and experience.
A book written for both L. M. Montgomery fans and scholars.
