Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Complete Short Stories of Lucy Maud Montgomery gathers the miniature worlds in which Montgomery refined the gifts that made Anne of Green Gables enduring: vivid landscape, spirited dialogue, comic timing, and a humane interest in lonely, imaginative, or socially constrained lives. Set largely in rural and small-town Canada, these stories belong to the late Victorian and Edwardian magazine tradition, yet they often exceed convention through psychological delicacy, moral nuance, and an alertness to women's aspirations within domestic forms. Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942), raised on Prince Edward Island and shaped by early bereavement, teaching, journalism, and a lifelong discipline of diary-keeping, drew deeply on memory, observation, and emotional solitude. Her intimate knowledge of village society, courtship rituals, family duty, and the consolations of nature furnished the raw material for fiction that is at once popular and carefully crafted. This collection is recommended to readers who wish to encounter Montgomery beyond her most famous heroine. It offers scholars and general readers alike a generous archive of her themes, techniques, and sympathies, revealing a writer whose short fiction remains charming, incisive, and quietly profound.
