Giới thiệu về tác giả

Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874–1942), commonly known as L. M. Montgomery, was a distinguished Canadian author, celebrated for her contributions to 20th-century literature, particularly for her series of novels featuring the indomitable Anne Shirley. Born in Clifton, Prince Edward Island, Montgomery’s literary journey began at an early age, followed by prolific writing that secured her place as a beloved figure in children’s literature. Her works, which went beyond the Anne series, include an extensive array of short stories, collected posthumously in titles such as ‘The Complete Short Story Collections’. Montgomery’s writing is characterized by its vivid portrayal of landscape, a reflection of her own deep connection to the picturesque Island she called home. Her narratives often center around strong female protagonists, a pioneering move that has both mirrored and influenced the social discourse of her time. Her capacity to weave tales of ambition, romance, and resilience within the pastoral settings of Canadian life has not only earned her international acclaim but also academic interest for her contributions to the literary canon. Montgomery’s legacy persists, with her stories continuing to inspire adaptations and studies that explore the depths of her creative vision.
