In 1908, two Canadian women published first novels that became instant bestsellers. Nellie McClungs Sowing Seeds in Danny initially outsold Lucy Maud Montgomerys Anne of Green Gables, but by 1965 McClungs book had largely disappeared from Canadian consciousness. The popularity of Anne, on the other hand, has continued to the present, and Anne has received far more academic and critical attention, especially since 1985. It is only recently that Anne of Green Gables has been criticized for its ideology in the same manner as Sowing Seeds in Danny. One hypothesis is that Dannys relatively speedy disappearance was partly due to a shift in Canadians religious worldview over the twentieth century as church attendance and biblical literacy gradually declined. McClungs rhetorical strategies look back to the dominant Protestantism of the nineteenth century, in contrast to Montgomerys, which look forward to the twentiethcenturys waning of religious faith. Likewise, the recent critical challenges to both novels spring from a worldview at odds with the predominantly Christian worldview of 1908.
