So, a bit of googling on the role of
Anne, and why it's important to Canadians, yields some interesting results. First, of course, would be the article in
The Guardian by Margaret Atwood referenced earlier, but then this other article in
The Guardian I also found of interest.
Also, the Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC) article
5 Reasons, and
The Canadian Encyclopedia article.
There was also an interesting article in the
NYTimes written about the most recent adaptation,
Anne with an E. I'm not at all sure I agree with what it says, but interesting.
