Infos

The Emily Star Collection brings to life the imaginative world of Emily Byrd Starr, a young, aspiring writer, through a trio of novels: "Emily of New Moon," "Emily Climbs," and "Emily's Quest." Montgomery's literary style is imbued with rich, lyrical prose and vivid descriptions that beautifully capture the natural landscape and the inner turmoil of her characters. Set in the early 20th century, the collection offers a unique glimpse into the struggles of a young woman seeking self-identity and artistic recognition in a patriarchal society, thus contextualizing Montgomery's work within the broader themes of feminism and personal fulfillment during her time. Lucy Maud Montgomery, a Canadian author, was profoundly influenced by her own experiences growing up in Prince Edward Island. Orphaned at a young age, she drew upon her experiences of solitude and longing for belonging to create the character of Emily. Montgomery's own journey as a writer, marked by trials and eventual triumph, echoes throughout Emily's challenges, providing a deeply personal connection between author and protagonist. For readers seeking a poignant exploration of creativity and the coming-of-age journey, The Emily Star Collection is an essential read. This enduring series not only highlights the indomitable spirit of its heroine but also advocates for the power of storytelling itself, making it a must-read for anyone interested in literature that resonates with authenticity and emotional depth.

Autor

Lucy Maud Montgomery, most commonly known as L.M. Montgomery (November 30, 1874 – April 24, 1942), holds an indelible place in the literary world, primarily for her contribution to children's literature. Born in Clifton, now New London, Prince Edward Island, Canada, Montgomery's personal life fed into her rich, evocative literature. Her mother's death when she was just 21 months old, and her father's subsequent leaving, meant she was raised by her strict grandparents. These life experiences deeply informed her writing. A prolific writer, Montgomery published over 20 novels, numerous short stories, poems, and essays. Her most famous creation, 'Anne of Green Gables', eclipsed her subsequent works in popularity, although the 'Emily of New Moon' series, also highlights her signature style of strong, independent female protagonists who are imaginative and in touch with the natural world. The 'Emily Starr Collection', inclusive of 'Emily of New Moon', 'Emily Climbs', and 'Emily's Quest', is reflective of her literary genius showcasing a semi-autobiographical narrative—a bildungsroman that traces the life and aspirations of an orphan girl with a passion for writing. Montgomery's keen ability to blend poetic descriptions of the Canadian landscape with the turmoil and delight of her characters' internal worlds makes her one of the most beloved authors of her time. Her work continues to speak to readers many decades after her passing, underscoring her timeless appeal and her significant place in the canon of classic literature.
