Since its publication in 1908, Anne of Green Gables has been a continuous        international best-seller, enjoying successful television adaptations on PBS and The        Disney Channel, and captivating children and adults alike with the irresistible        charms of its remarkable heroine, Anne Shirley. This wildly imaginative, red-headed        chatterbox tries to fit into the narrow confines of Victorian expectations, but her        exuberant spirit keeps leaping delightfully beyond the bounds. Indeed, when Maud        Montgomery decided to reject the sermonizing formulas of the children's books of her        day, she brought to life a character much closer to Jane Eyre, David Copperfield,        and Tom Sawyer--also orphans, like Anne--than to the self-sacrificing, conformist        heroines then in demand. In doing so, Montgomery subtly questioned the values of her        society--the stifling restraints of its religion and most especially its treatment        of women--while giving readers all the pleasures of her considerable story-telling        gifts.Now, in this first fully annotated edition of Anne of Green Gables, readers        will appreciate more clearly than ever before the scope and depth of this        extraordinary novel. Editors Margaret Anne Doody, Mary Doody Jones, and Wendy Barry        provide a richly illustrated, completely revised text, along with hundreds of notes        describing the real-life characters and settings Anne encounters, the        autobiographical connections between Anne and Maud Montgomery, and the book's        astonishing range of literary, biblical, and mythological references. Additional        essays offer fascinating background information on such topics as the geography and        settlement of Prince Edward Island (where Anne takes place); the education,        orphanages, music, and literature of Anne's time; and the horticulture, homemade        artifacts, and food preparation that are so prevalent in the story. Margaret Anne        Doody supplies a comprehensive introduction, which situates the novel in its        literary and social contexts, explores those aspects of Montgomery's life most        relevant to the story, examines revisions in the manuscripts, and provides an        overall sense of both the impulses that drove Montgomery to write Anne of Green        Gables and the larger concerns it dramatizes so compellingly. This edition also        contains a chronology of Montgomery's life, an extensive bibliography, songs and        poems that appear in the text, and a selection of original reviews of the book. This        wealth of material enables readers to grasp the marvelous multi-layeredness of the        novel and to understand more fully its place in both its own time and in        ours.Elegantly and beautifully designed, with generous illustrations from previous        editions, photographs of the places the novel inhabits, and explanatory drawings        that reproduce the texture of Anne's world, The Annotated Anne of Green Gables is a        major event in the publishing history of one of the world's most charming        stories.
