| The Selected Journals of L. M. Montgomery, Volume V |
| 1935-1942 |
| Edited by Mary Rubio and Elizabeth Waterston |
The fifth volume of the immensely successful Selected
Journals of L. M. Montgomery, covers the period from 1935
through Lucy Maud's death in 1942. It completes the story of
a gifted creative writer who was also wife, mother, community
leader, and public figure.
In the late 1930's, Montgomery establishes a new home in a
Toronto suburb. No longer dwelling in a farm community or a
small rural village, Lucy Maud Montgomery explored life in
downtown Toronto and turned her journals into the
unprecedented diary of a suburban housewife. Here she
experienced the cultural riches the city had to offer while
finding friendship and neighbourliness in the suburb of
Swansea, where she settled with her husband. The journal
chronicles her hopes and satisfaction with her new home and
neighbourhood, but also her struggles with her own and her
husband's recurring bouts of depression, and her worries over
the academic performance and behaviour of her sons. The
journals also record her views on world events such as the
abdication of Edward VIII, Italy's invasion of Ethiopia, and
the apparent inability of the League of Nations to deter
Hitler.
This much anticipated final volume caps the publication of the
unique and powerfully told life-story of this gifted writer.
