1001 Stories From The Gilded Age

• THE BEST OF THE GILDED AGE COUNTDOWN #29 - THE ROMANCE OF JEDEDIAH

  To celebrate Jon Hagadorn's 10 years of storytelling, we are doing a countdown of the most beloved stories.  This week, #29, The Romance of Jedediah, by Lucy Maude Montgomery, one of our favorite authors here at 1001 Stories from the Gilded Age.   Next up in our "Best of the Gilded Age" countdown is Lucy Maude Montgomery’s charming tale, “The Romance of Jedediah,” which first aired on December 8th, 2024.  We find that romance often "cares not for appearances and apparently delights in contradictions".  Our hero, Jedediah Crane, is certainly a contradiction: despite a name that doesn't "savour of romance", a plump figure clothed in loud checks and a bright pink necktie, and his current profession driving a clinking, bright red pedlar’s wagon, he is internally "bubbling over with romance".  After fifteen years of absence, having left Amberley to seek his fortune, he returns a poor, tin-peddling failure, determined to look upon the Adams homestead again.  He finds his former love, Mattie Adams, plumper and rosier, but still possessed of a remarkable placidity. While Jedediah revels in the "deliciously romantic" situation of reuniting with the woman he has loved all his life, the pair must contend with the watchful, angular figure of Mattie's sister, Selena Ford, who monitors their every move from her strategically positioned house on the hill.  Join us to find out if the romantic "sitootion" of this old love rekindled can survive the judgment of Amberley society and the persistent interference of a spiteful sister.

• ANNE OF THE ISLAND (CHAP 14) THE SUMMONS

  Join us for Chapter XIV, “The Summons,” from L.M. Montgomery’s beloved novel, Anne of the Island.  As the summer’s splendor wanes and the world is full of hazes, Anne dedicates her evenings to her friend Ruby Gillis, who is growing paler and struggling with what Anne perceives as an invisible foe.  Anne senses that Ruby needs help—craves it—and she wants to give it to her and can’t. In a pivotal, moonlit vigil, the conversation shifts from light chatter to a harrowing confession as Ruby admits she is afraid to die, not because she fears heaven itself, but because it won’t be what she has been used to.  This profound discussion forces Anne to wrestle with her own ideas about the great mysteries of life and eternity, realizing that her life must take on a deeper purpose.  Tune in to discover how this event, which Anne realizes will change her forever, culminates in a final summons that might not be disregarded or evaded in Avonlea.

• ANNE OF THE ISLAND (Chapter 13) THE WAY OF THE TRANSGRESSORS

  In Chapter 13, “The Way of Transgressors,” from L.M. Montgomery’s Anne of the Island, we dive into a vividly rendered account of childhood mischief and the dawning pangs of conscience.  Young Davy Keith, left under Mrs. Lynde’s vigilant eye, embarks on a meticulously planned rebellion.  This day of transgression, however, soon leads him down a path where a "mis'rubul" conscience becomes his harshest, most inescapable judge.  L.M. Montgomery, celebrated for her profound ability to capture the authentic voice and intricate internal world of children, brilliantly portrays Davy’s tumultuous journey from reckless abandon to the heavy burden of guilt, illuminating how even the smallest acts of defiance can cast a long shadow over a young heart and highlighting her genius for depicting complex emotional landscapes through her characters.
