When it originally appeared, Elizabeth Rollins Epperly's The
Fragrance of Sweet-Grass was one of the first challenges to the
idea that L.M. Montgomery's books were unworthy of serious study.
Examining all of Montgomery's fiction, Epperly argues that
Montgomery was much more than a master of the romance genre and
that, through her use of literary allusions, repetitions, irony,
and comic inversions, she deftly manipulated the normal conventions
of romance novels. Focusing on Montgomery's memorable heroines,
from Anne Shirley to Emily Byrd Starr, Valancy Stirling, and Pat
Gardiner, Epperly demonstrates that Montgomery deserves a place in
the literary canon not just as the creator of Anne of Green Gables
but as an artist in her chosen profession.
Since its publication more than twenty years ago, The Fragrance
of Sweet-Grass has become a favourite of scholars, writers, and
Montgomery fans. This new edition adds a preface in which Epperly
discusses the book's contribution to the ongoing research on the
life and writing of L.M. Montgomery, reflects on how Montgomery
studies have flourished over the past two decades, and suggests new
ways to approach and explore the Canadian writer's work.
