IASH Fellows Speaker Series, noon, LN-1106 (IASH Conference Room). Liz Rosenberg, professor of English, will read from and speak about her new biography of L. M. Montgomery, House of Dreams, to be published by Candlewick Press in 2014. L. M. Montgomery is the most popular writer in Canadian literature, author of the children’s classic Anne of Green Gables, as well as more than 30 other books. A poet, memoirist, short story writer, biographer and novelist, her own life was a checkered existence of light and dark. Rosenberg will speak about Montgomery’s struggle to make her own tale of abandonment into one of rescue.
