The final volume of The L.M. Montgomery Reader, A Legacy in
Review examines a long overlooked portion of Montgomery's critical
reception: reviews of her books. Although Montgomery downplayed the
impact that reviews had on her writing career, claiming to be
amused and tolerant of reviewers' contradictory opinions about her
work, she nevertheless cared enough to keep a large percentage of
them in scrapbooks as an archive of her career.
Edited by leading Montgomery scholar Benjamin Lefebvre, this
volume presents more than four hundred reviews from eight countries
that raise questions about and offer reflections on gender, genre,
setting, character, audience, and nationalism, much of which
anticipated the scholarship that has thrived in the last four
decades. Lefebvre's extended introduction and chapter headnotes
place the reviews in the context of Montgomery's literary career
and trace the evolution of attitudes to her work, and his epilogue
examines the reception of Montgomery's books that were published
posthumously.
A comprehensive account of the reception of Montgomery's books,
published during and after her lifetime, A Legacy in Review is the
illuminating final volume of this important new resource for L.M.
Montgomery scholars and fans around the world.
