Exploring L.M. Montgomery's book covers
You can't judge a book by its cover, but maybe you can judge a cover by its... book? In the second video of our Montgomery series, Dr. Kate Scarth explores some of L.M. Montgomery's book covers and how they evoke a sense of place.
Want to learn more? Elizabeth R. Epperly, Jack Hutton, Linda Jackson-Hutton, Christy Woster, and especially Andrea McKenzie have all written about L.M. Montgomery’s book covers.
See, for example, McKenzie’s “Patterns, Power, and Paradox: International Book Covers of Anne of Green Gables across a Century” in Textual Transformations in Children’s Literature: Adaptations, Translations, Reconsiderations, edited by Benjamin Lefebvre (available on routledge.com)
