The back cover also includes the following comments:
‘No one is better suited than Elizabeth Epperly to undertake a study of L.M. Montgomery’s photographs. Through Lover’s Lane represents the first solid study of Montgomery’s fiction in relation to both her autobiographical writing and photographs. It is a readily comprehensible study and the images are gorgeous.’ —Cecily Devereux, Department of English, University of Alberta
‘Elizabeth Epperly has written an effective analysis of L.M. Montgomery’s visual imagination and “way of seeing”—a central and surprisingly little-studied aspect of this popular author’s verbal (and visual) art. Through Lover’s Lane is a well-written, engaging work that also makes available a beautiful series of Montgomery’s photographs.’ —Janice Fiamengo, Department of English, University of Ottawa
