Ewen with an “E”
Abstract
L.M. Montgomery’s homelife has been defined by her journal narratives, wherein her husband, Reverend Ewen Macdonald, identified as “Ewan,” is portrayed many times as an ill-matched partner. This paper will highlight some of the underlying idiosyncrasies and stresses within the Macdonald home that contribute to this characterization as well as the parental pressures that overshadowed those stresses.
