Autorenporträt
Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874–1942), best known for her beloved 'Anne of Green Gables' series, was a prolific Canadian author whose work extended beyond her famous red-haired heroine. Born on Prince Edward Island, Montgomery's experiences in the bucolic countryside, as well as her own challenges with family dynamics and personal loss, deeply informed her writing. Her stories are redolent with vivid descriptions of the landscapes she knew intimately and the emotional turmoil experienced by her characters. Montgomery was not only a novelist but a master of short stories, which are showcased in 'The Complete Short Stories of Lucy Maud Montgomery,' a testament to her narrative range and skillful portrayal of human nature and rural life. Her literary style is characterized by a rich, descriptive voice, a strong sense of place, and an uncanny ability to delve into the psyche of her characters; all the while, interweaving threads of romance, tragedy, and earnestness. Her work has been crucial in shaping Canada's literary identity, and her influence is seen through generations of readers and writers inspired by her depictions of resilience, imagination, and the quest for belonging.
