I haven't read this novel but wonder: As the novel was published before the end of the First World War, does it really cover Anne's life "shortly after the First World War"? Victoriagirl 21:56, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what the article said at the time you wrote your note, but it presently says that the series of books covers that time period. --Lawikitejana 13:41, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The era isn't mentioned in the article at present, but this particular novel is definitely dated by the success of the Liberals (Grits) in the election of 1896, after eighteen years of Conservative rule. The novel thus covers from August 1894 (Anne's wedding) to October 1896. The last book of the series, Rilla of Ingleside, is set at the time of the First World War.

The political case was in 1893. Anne and Gilbert married in 1891 and got the children: Joy (1892-1892), Jem (1893), Walter (1894-1916), Nan/Di (1895 or 1896), Shirley (1897) and Rilla (1899). --89.144.208.57 (talk) 17:17, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Storyline needed

This story is one of the more complex ones in the series and has some serious themes. It is among my favorites, but I haven't re-read it in the last two years and am afraid I won't do it justice. Could someone else start a summary? (It would need the spoiler template for sure.) I know that it should include a discussion of Leslie, Dick, and Owe'n; the story of the original occupants of the house; Miss Cornelia and the Captain; and baby Joy. This book also is the opener, now that I come to write this, of the part of the series that focuses on the Blythe family: HOD, AOI, RV, ROI. So if we did a good run-through of the people and themes, it could be used as the base for the summaries of those books as well. --Lawikitejana 13:41, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright status

I'm not clear on copyright law, but I've heard that books written before a certain year pass into the public domain. Could someone indicate which of the Anne books are public domain now? --Uncle Ed (talk) 12:46, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

theme is Anne's early married life, as she and her childhood sweetheart Gilbert Blythe begin to build their life together. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.171.214.157 (talk) 22:49, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
