Anne certainly merits the comprehensive, scholarly study
demonstrated in the annotated margins, footnotes, critical essays,
asides, and appendices that accompany the original text of Anne of
Green Gables. Between these covers lies an entire academic course,
covering the kinds of biographical, geographical, literary, and
mythological allusions that a good professor would explicate -
e.g., that one of Anne's compositions may have been inspired by
ideas or phrases in the works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning or
George Eliot - but also including colloquial terms, foods, fabrics,
plants, expressions, songs, and poetry of Anne's time, and
information about Montgomery as well. There's plenty here for
scholars and fans; this edition should not be relegated to the
reference shelves. (Kirkus Reviews)
