Autor

Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942), one of Canada's most beloved authors, was born on Prince Edward Island, which later became a vibrant backdrop for her literary work. Montgomery's work predominantly featured novels, short stories, and poetry, painting a rich portrait of life in late 19th and early 20th century Canada. She is perhaps best known for her Anne of Green Gables series, which captivated readers worldwide and contributed significantly to Canadian literature's identity. 'Anne of Windy Poplars,' the fourth book in the series, continues the adventures of the vivacious Anne Shirley as she embarks on her career as a principal and teacher in Summerside, Prince Edward Island. Montgomery's writing is marked by its humor, pathos, and ability to capture the imagination with its endearing characters and lush settings. Her work extended beyond Anne's tale, however, with contributions such as 'Emily of New Moon,' which also resonated with audiences through her compelling depiction of orphaned heroines and their resilient spirit. A forerunner of 20th-century women writers in Canada, Montgomery's legacy endures in her exploration of identity, feminism, and psychological complexity within the bucolic landscapes of her writings. Her literary style, characterized by romanticism and a touch of melancholy, continues to captivate scholars and readers alike, earning her a permanent place in the canon of classic literature.
