What can be learned from reconstructing an author’s library? What might an author’s library reveal about them that their published work does not? Canadian author L.M. Montgomery—best known for her classic, Anne of Green Gables (1908)—was a voracious reader with widely varied tastes in literature. Dr. Emily Woster will discuss the wealth of evidence we have of Montgomery’s reading habits and share insights, surprises, and highlights from her work curating the "L.M. Montgomery Bookshelf Project,” a physical and digital collection of some of the beloved author’s most interesting reads.
