Kate Scarth

Scarth is the first Chair of L.M. Montgomery Studies at the University of Prince Edward Island’s L.M. Montgomery Institute. Her research focuses on place and fiction. She is particularly interested in urban and suburban fiction, the topic of her book project, Romantic Suburbs. Her captivation with literary places extends to Atlantic Canada, and her work on this region includes the project, Halifax’s Literary Landmarks. She has published in various academic journals, including Women’s Writing and European Romantic Review. A big goal of her work is sharing Atlantic Canadian writing with different audiences. See, for example, her video “Who is L.M. Montgomery?” produced by UPEI.
