| The Selected Journals of L. M. Montgomery, Volume III |
| 1921-1929 |
| Edited by Mary Rubio and Elizabeth Waterston |
The third volume of the Selected Journals of L. M. Montgomery,
covers the period from 1921 to 1929.
This revealing journal documents her efforts to juggle the
demands of motherhood, parish obligations, indifferent
household help, grief at the loss of older friends and family, and
appeals by her P.E.I. clan for advice and assistance - the
everyday struggles to balance a woman's social and domestic
duties.
Here she writes of the triumphs and trials of being a best-selling
author: growing fame; the successful launch of her new heroines
Emily and Marigold and a more adult novel, The Blue Castle;
the struggle to allocate time for correspondence with publishers,
fans, friends - and to actually write. We trace the happy
conclusion of her lawsuits against an unscrupulous publisher and
the disappointing outcome of a lawsuit arising in a minor
automobile accident. And we learn of her personal worries:
Ewan Macdonalds's envy of his wife's publishing and social
success; the dark shadow cast by his attacks of melancholia;
and her fear that her sons might evince similar tendencies.
In these years, Lucy Maud Montgomery turned more and more
to her journals to record her insights, opinions, and epiphanies.
This journal shows Montgomery to be a complex, sensitive,
successful and surprisingly contemporary writer.
