Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942) and Anne of Green Gables will
always be associated with Prince Edward Island, Montgomery's
childhood home and the setting of her most famous novels. Yet,
after marrying Rev. Ewan Macdonald in 1911, she lived in Ontario
for three decades. There she became a mother of two sons, fulfilled
the duties of a minister's wife, advocated for copyright protection
and recognition of Canadian literature, wrote prolifically, and
reached a global readership that has never waned. Engaging with
discussions on both her life and her fiction, L.M. Montgomery's
Rainbow Valleys explores the joys, sorrows, and literature that
emerged from her transformative years in Ontario. While this time
brought Montgomery much pleasure and acclaim, it was also
challenged and complicated by a sense of displacement and the need
to self-fashion and self-dramatize as she struggled to align her
private self with her public persona. Written by scholars from
various fields and including a contribution by Montgomery's
granddaughter, this volume covers topics such as war, religion,
women's lives, friendships, loss, and grief, focusing on a range of
related themes to explore Montgomery's varied states of mind. An
in-depth study of one of Canada's most internationally acclaimed
authors, L.M. Montgomery's Rainbow Valleys shows how she recreated
herself as an Ontario writer and adapted to the rapidly changing
world of the twentieth century. Contributors include Elizabeth
