Review
        	  
        	  
        		  
        			&#x201C;Interesting and well-researched.&#x201D; &#x2015;The New York Times&#x201C;Drawing on a vast array of neglected and unknown sources, this groundbreaking study establishes new connections between Montgomery&apos;s isolated life in Cavendish, P.E.I., and the metropolitan existence that she consumed vicariously through magazines published in New York, Boston and Philadelphia. Looking for Anne is a highly readable, top-rate study that [provides] a new spin on Montgomery&apos;s text.&#x201D; &#x2015;Globe and Mail&#x201C;Rather than simply rehashing available material, Ryerson professor and noted literary researcher Irene Gammel &#x2026; explores the social and literary influences that guided and inspired Montgomery in creating her impetuous heroine. &#x2026; Even more fascinating is the amount of inspiration Montgomery found in the myriad of current magazines and journals that made their way into her hands via the desk of her grandmother the town postmistress. &#x201D; &#x2015;Quill and Quire&#x201C;Looking for Anne is a fascinating and wonderful book. It brings forward an amazing wealth of new information, filling in many gaps (some of which I didn&apos;t even know existed!), and is presented in a captivating narrative that is very well organized and a great read. The research is fabulous&#x2026;. It&apos;s rather like the Road to Xanadu.&#x201D; &#x2015;Carole Gerson, Simon Fraser University and co-editor of History of the Book in Canada&#x201C;... The material is incredible, the interpretive work unsurpassable. &#x201D; &#x2015;Holly Virginia Blackford, Rutgers University-Camden.
