Gammel, I: Anne's World A New Century of Anne of Green Gables

'This collection is really "Anne for a New Century." As Anne begins her journey into the next millennium, after her first 100 years, Gammel and Lefebvre have proven that there are startling new facets to uncover: her disabilities and her creator's depression; her modern fashions and her ruthless tourism; her long archival life in libraries and her postmodern digital presence. These new approaches reveal that Anne is as new today as ever.' - Holly Blackford, editor of 100 Years of Anne with an 'e': The Centennial Study of Anne of Green Gables 'The essays are paired and clustered for contrapuntal readings. But each stands on its own, providing twenty-first century readers of Anne of Green Gables - or indeed anyone interested in how classic texts might be read in the twenty-first century- with the opportunity to reflect and respond and renew their acquaintance with Anne and her world.' - Lesley D. Clement (English Studies in Canada; vol 36:2-3:2010) 'Each essay is meticulously annotated, the biography is comprehensive, and Richard Cavell's "Afterword: Meditating Anne" is a thought provoking and fitting conclusion.' - Jane Mattison (CANTEXT: The Newsletter of the BACS Literature Group; vol13:02:2011)
