Eleanor H. Porter's Pollyanna

Eleanor H. Porter's Pollyanna was first published in book form in 1913. The story's enduring appeal lies in Pollyanna's sunny personality and her playful attempt to accentuate the positive in every situation. In celebration of its centenary, this collection of thirteen original essays examines a wide variety of the novel's themes and concerns, as well as adaptations in film, manga, and translation.
