Montgomery, and Mazo de la Roche","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat happens next? \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThat was the question asked of early-twentieth-century authors Nellie L. McClung, L. M. Montgomery, and Mazo de la Roche, whose stories and novels appeared serially and kept readers and publishers in a state of anticipation. Each author answered through the writing and dissemination of further instalments. McClung's Pearlie Watson trilogy (1908-1921), Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables books (1908-1939), and de la Roche's Jalna novels (1927-1960) were read avidly not just as sequels but as serials in popular and literary newspapers and magazines. A number of the books were also adapted to stage, film, and television. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Next Instalment \u003c\/i\u003eargues that these three Canadian women writers, all born in the same decade of the late nineteenth century, were influenced by early-twentieth-century publication, marketing, and reading practices to become heavily invested in the cultural phenomenon of the continuing story. A close look at their serials, sequels, and adaptations reveals that, rather than existing as separate cultural productions, each is part of a cultural and material continuum that encourages repeated consumption through development and extension of the originary story. This work considers the effects that each mode of dissemination of a narrative has on the other. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wendy Roy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771123915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771123914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilfrid Laurier University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/14\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.30w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2021","brand":"Wendy Roy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43937938342143,"sku":"9781771123914","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1247865d-53d4-442c-b381-b3d5e64f8f45.jpg?v=1681432784","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-next-instalment-wendy-roy-9781771123914","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
