Now Live on Audible! The Life and Works of L.M. Montgomery, an Audible Original by Dr. Kate Scarth

Join Dr. Kate Scarth, Chair of L. M. Montgomery Studies at UPEI, as she explores the extraordinary life and legacy of L. M. Montgomery, the celebrated Canadian author of Anne of Green Gables and so much more. Listen now on Audible!

In the six lectures of The Life and Works of L. M. Montgomery, you’ll join Kate Scarth to delve into five key topics that illuminate the life, work, and legacy of the author sometimes called “the Jane Austen of Canada”: family, place, friendship, creativity, and literature. Through these lectures, you’ll explore the impact of Montgomery’s personal experience on her art and get a clearer picture of how life both shapes and is shaped by literature. You’ll examine why Montgomery’s novels mattered in her own time and better understand the lasting and international influence of her life and her work across the generations. And you’ll discover why readers still can’t get enough of Anne, Emily, Valancy, and, of course, Lucy Maud Montgomery herself.

Discover the many sides of this literary legend in a rich, engaging audio experience, part of The Great Courses series.
