Summary, in English

Francesco Alberoni, a sociologist, has

written Falling in Love and Loving. Alberoni's theories,which are found in this book, concern the four phases he has identified for the process of falling in love: ignition phase, denial, realisation and outcome.

The aim of this paper is to make use of Alberoni's phases to be able to answer the question how the process of falling in love is represented in the Canadian writer L.M. Montgomery's

Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea, Anne of the Island, Anne of Windy Poplars and Anne's House of Dreams.
