Holly Pike, Katharine Slater, Margaret Steffler, and Anastasia Ulanowicz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874–1942) was a Canadian author best known for writing the wildly popular \u003ci\u003eAnne of Green Gables\u003c\/i\u003e. At the time of its publication in 1908, it was an immediate bestseller and launched Montgomery to fame. Less known than the dreamy and accidentally mischievous Anne Shirley is Emily Byrd Starr, the title character in the trilogy that followed much later in Montgomery’s professional career, \u003ci\u003eEmily of New Moon. \u003c\/i\u003ePublished in 1923, \u003ci\u003eEmily of New Moon\u003c\/i\u003e is the first in a series of novels about an orphan girl growing up on Prince Edward Island, a story that mirrors Anne’s but intentionally resists many of the defining qualities of Montgomery's most famous creation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite being overshadowed by the immense popularity of \u003ci\u003eAnne of Green Gables, \u003c\/i\u003ethe \u003ci\u003eEmily of New Moon\u003c\/i\u003e trilogy has become a subject of endless fascination to fans and scholars around the world. The trilogy was conceived during an important phase in Montgomery’s career during which she turned from Anne and plunged into more intricate aspects of gender, adolescence, nature, and authorship. While the novels have attracted rich critical attention since their publication, book-length studies proved surprisingly scarce. \u003ci\u003eL. M. Montgomery’s \"Emily of New Moon\": A Children’s Classic at 100\u003c\/i\u003e is the first scholarly volume exclusively dedicated to the trilogy, coalescing different research perspectives. It offers a fresh point of entrance into a well-loved classic at its one-hundredth anniversary.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYan Du and Joe Sutliff Sanders \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart One: Literary Resonances\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.
