Susanna Moodie

    6 de diciembre de 1803 – 8 de abril de 1885

    Susanna Moodie fue una autora nacida en Inglaterra que se hizo conocida por sus relatos literarios de las experiencias de los colonos en Canadá. Sus escritos profundizaron en las crudas realidades de la vida en la frontera, capturando la mezcla de desafíos, aislamiento y resiliencia que moldearon las primeras comunidades coloniales. A través de sus agudas observaciones y vívida prosa, Moodie ofreció a los lectores una ventana única a los años formativos de la historia canadiense, explorando temas de adaptación, encuentros culturales y la naturaleza cambiante de la identidad en una nueva tierra. Sus narrativas siguen siendo un valioso testimonio del espíritu perdurable de aquellos que forjaron una vida en la naturaleza.

      Life in the Clearings Versus the Bush
    • Susanna Moodie belongs to the origins of our literary heritage, and no library of Canadian classics would be complete without her. When Roughing It in the Bush was published in the 1850s, it created a sensation in England — not only for its “glowing narrative of personal incident and suffering “, but for Mrs. Moodie’s firm determination to puncture the illusions European land-agents were circulating about life in the colonies. Here is a frank and unvarnished account of the author’ experience trying to build a homestead in Upper Canada — the relentless toil to clear a few acres of land, the rough society and common “debauchery”, the isolation of living far from the accustomed comforts of civilization. Yet here too, leavened by Susanna Moodie’s ever-present sense of humour and eye for colourful characters, is the lively re-creation of an era that is a vital part of this country’s past.
