Bibliography
Benjamin Lefebvre, editor of The L.M. Montgomery Library, is director of L.M. Montgomery Online. His publications include an edition of Montgomery’s rediscovered final book, The Blythes Are Quoted, and the three-volume critical anthology The L.M. Montgomery Reader, which won the 2016 PROSE Award for Literature from the Association of American Publishers. He lives in Kitchener, Ontario.
‘Lefebvre’s overall achievement in this Reader series is a
masterful compilation of archival adeptness and exquisite editing
that addresses, through collation, crucial source materials for
specialists in Canadian literature and history.’
*Canadian Literature issue number 226*
‘Lefebvre’s archival research is thorough and often brilliant,
making the Reader an invaluable trove not only for Montgomery
scholars but also for those working with the reception history of
Canadian writers.’
*University of Toronto Quarterly vol 84:03:2015*
“Lefebvre has thoroughly mined earlier scholars’ bibliographies and
online newspaper archives to find reviews in periodicals from eight
different countries, including the Bookman (London), the Globe
(Toronto) and Vogue (New York). . . . Collectively,
these reviews . . . represent a superb barometer of
[Montgomery’s] fluctuating cultural value as a writer.”
*The Times Literary Supplement*
“Lefebvre has uncovered a cache of new, important material in an
already impressive and crowded field of Montgomery
scholarship.”
*Saint John Telegraph-Journal*
