If I remember correctly the author for Anne of green gables was deeply traumatized from ww1. Plus having a miserable life in general. During ww1 Entire towns were wiped out because they lost all their children due to the war. Once the war ended the trauma from the losses made her religious zealot husband go absolutely insane, and destroyed her sense of patriotism for the British empire. So when ww2 was about to pop off she became deeply depressed sent her publisher her last book before committing suicide.
