ConneXions Presenters Series: Dr. Kate Scarth (ACLC)
Dr. Kate Scarth will give a presentation titled "L.M. Montgomery at 150" on November 15, 2024, at 2:30 pm, in SDU Main Building, Room 320.
"This talk will happen on the eve of the 150th anniversary of L.M. Mont颅gomery鈥檚 birth on November 30, 1874. Given this Prince Edward Islander鈥檚 status as an internationally renowned and beloved writer, it is perhaps not surprising that across Montgomery鈥檚 life, works, and legacy, births and birthdays are marked with stories鈥攕tories told, stories gifted, stories made possible. To celebrate Montgomery鈥檚 150th birthday, I鈥檒l share some of these stories marking births and birthdays from her novels, journals, and from readers and fans (for example, from the project that I鈥檓 co-directing with Trinna Frever). I look forward to sharing stories with you in honour of #Maud150!"
