  The Next Instalment

  Serials, Sequels, and Adaptations of Nellie L. McClung, L.M. Montgomery, and Mazo de la Roche

  Wendy Roy

  Roy argues that McClung, with her Pearlie Watson trilogy; Montgomery, and her Anne of Green Gables books; and de la Roche, with her Jalna novels, were influenced by early-20th-century publishing, marketing, and reading practices to become invested in the continuing story, encouraging repeated consumption.
