L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables is one of the best-known and
most enduringly popular novels of the twentieth century. First
published in 1908, it has never been out of print, and it
continues, nearly a century after its first appearance, to appeal
to new readers in many locations around the world. Anne of Green
Gables is the story of how a little girl, adopted from an orphan
asylum by a brother and sister seeking a boy to help them on their
Prince Edward Island farm, grows to responsible young adulthood
and, as she grows, brings light and life to her adoptive home.
Although it is, as Montgomery described it in her journal, a
"simple little tale," it has nonetheless generated not only an
international readership but, more recently, an increasing critical
interest that focuses on the text's engagement with social and
political issues, its relation to Montgomery's life and her other
writing, and its circulation as a popular cultural commodity in
Canada and elsewhere. This Broadview Edition is based on the first
edition of Anne of Green Gables. It includes a critical
introduction and a fascinating selection of contemporary documents,
including contemporary reviews of the novel, other writings by L.M.
Montgomery (stories, writings on gender and on writing), and
excerpts from the "Pansy" books by Isabella Macdonald Alden.
