Autor

Lucy Maud Montgomery, often referred to as L. M. Montgomery, was a prolific Canadian author best known for her enchanting tales set against the backdrop of Prince Edward Island. Born on November 30, 1874, in Clifton (now New London), Montgomery's literary journey began in her early childhood, a path markedly influenced by her surrounding landscapes and an insatiable imagination. Her most celebrated work, the 'Anne of Green Gables' series, sprouted from her rich storytelling prowess and intimate knowledge of rural Island life. These stories of Anne Shirley, an enduring and imaginative character, have become timeless classics beloved by readers around the globe. Montgomery's work extends well beyond Anne, with more than 20 novels, numerous short story collections, and an array of poetry. Her writing is characterized by its eloquence, rich character development, and lively depictions of the natural world. Published posthumously, 'The Collected Works of Lucy Maud Montgomery' is a testament to her enduring legacy and showcases the extensive range of her literary accomplishments. Montgomery's personal battles with depression, her struggles as a woman writer in the early 20th century, and the cultural influences of her time, enrich interpretations of her work. Through her profound connection to the Island's landscape and her exploration of themes such as belonging, identity, and the complexities of human relationships, Montgomery's literary style provides insightful reflections on the human experience (Rubio, 2008; Montgomery, L.M.; The Collected Works of Lucy Maud Montgomery).
