💐✍️ Take a look at our new addition to the 𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘓.𝘔. 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘨𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘚𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘴 “Vision” collection!

L.M. Montgomery’s posthumously published book 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘭𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴 𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘘𝘶𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘥 and Virginia Woolf’s novel 𝘛𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦 are both divided into two parts that are interrupted by the First World War. The visions of hope and possibility in the first section of each book are replaced in the second halves by re-visions of nostalgia, grief, and growth. While Woolf and Montgomery are not often discussed together, a comparison of these novels highlights how, for both authors, aesthetic creations such as painting, writing, and storytelling become a means for their characters to process grief and remember lost loved ones.

Montgomery’s The Blythes Are Quoted and Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse” by Catherine Clark, visit https://journaloflmmontgomerystudies.ca/vision/Clark/creative-vision-grief-and-memory-lm-montgomerys-blythes-are-quoted-and-virginia-woolfs-lighthouse
