teghan's review against another edition
5.0
Epperly is one of founding academics to Montgomery studies and I can't even count the number of times I've used this book in my own research.
This book is structured in a very accessible way for future reading (almost reference style) and Epperly is an accomplished writer.
A necessity for any serious fan of Anne and LM Montgomery.

This was a look at the writing, style, and characters of Lucy Maud Montgomery's heroines. Strong on Anne and Emily of course, but touches on every novel.
I now have a better understanding of why I dislike Anne of Avonlea so much, and Epperly does a nice job tying in a lot of threads that I didn't know about before, such as Emily's similarities to 'Aurora Leigh' (novel-poem) and Jane Eyre.
A quick read, it made me want to re-read all of the LMM books and journals.
