Bakhtin’s concept of the chronotope, the representation of a particular time and space in an artistic work, is used to explore connections between Anne of Green Gables (Montgomery, 1908) and Elijah of Buxton (2007). Written a century apart, these novels both feature an eleven-year-old protagonist in a 19th century Canadian village, though in many crucial ways they are worlds apart. Using each as a lens for looking at the other raises new questions about how each author has chosen to draw on history and geography to create a Canadian fiction.
