Text is clean. 'For most readers and students of Canadian literature, Susanna Moodie's name evokes images of immigrant and settler experience in nineteenth-century Canada. Roughing It in the Bush, her account of pioneer life, is a landmark in Canadian literary history; it is the only sense of Moodie that most Canadians have. But there were many other dimensions to her life, as this volume reveals. It follows Susanna from her Suffolk girlhood and her experience as an aspiring young writer in London, through her emigration to Upper Canada and five decades of Canadian life. Many of the surviving letters, because they are written to fellow writers, editors, and publishers, are about literature. . . . Personal letters are here too. They tell a warmly human story of a lively personality.' SIGNED by the three Editors upon the title-page. 390 pages.<
