Introduction Search Search Help List of Poets ... Comments Susanna Moodie (1803-1885) Susanna Moodie was a prolific writer of poetry, short stories, articles and novels, but is best known for Roughing It in the Bush , a personal narrative of her immigration to the Canadian wilderness that has become a Canadian literary classic. Born Susanna Strickland near Bungay, Suffolk, England, on December 6, 1803, she was the youngest daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Homer Strickland. In 1808, the family moved to Reydon Hall, near Southwold in Suffolk. Thomas Strickland conscientiously educated his six daughters and two sons, stressing discipline, self-reliance and practicality. A large library provided the children with literary and imaginative stimulus, and from their childhood, the Strickland sisters were drawn to theatre, poetry and history. Following their father’s death in April 1818, they earned much-needed income by writing natural history, moral and historical tales for children, and sketches, stories and poems for periodicals and annuals. Indeed, all but one of the Strickland sisters made a career of writing. The eldest sisters, Elizabeth and Agnes, achieved fame and social prominence in England as co-authors of Lives of the Queens of England (1840-1848) and other biographies of the British aristocracy. Jane Margaret Strickland specialized in moral tales and histories, while Susanna, along with her sister Catharine (as Catharine Parr Traill) and their brother Samuel Strickland, gained recognition as recorders and interpreters of pioneering and settling in early-19th-century Upper Canada.

Sources Post-Loyalist Settlement II (1830 - 1867) A deadly worldwide outbreak of cholera in 1832 threatened to pause immigration to British North America yet again. The disease first entered North America through what is now considered eastern Canada thanks to infected British immigrants who brought it here. (However, German immigrants transmitted cholera to Britain; the epidemic itself first originated in India.) In an effort to quarantine and protect the colony, governments would tax immigrants for the first time. This was done to pay for the construction of new hospitals to treat the diseased at ports along the St. Lawrence River and Atlantic coastline. This tax, however, would not deter impoverished immigrants from emigrating from Ireland, which underwent a devastating potato famine in the late 1840s. It also didn't prevent Black fugitives from the United States from sneaking into Upper Canada to seek freedom from a life of slavery. In fact, there was a dramatic surge in Upper Canada's population during this period. It went from 95,000 in 1815 to more than 950,000 in 1851, the year it surpassed the French population of Lower Canada (then officially known as Canada East) for the first time.

Athabasca University. Canada's Open University. Navigation Skip Navigation Language and Literature Contact Faculty ... English Language Studies Susanna Moodie In 1830, Susanna met Lt. John Wedderburn Dunbar Moodie. They married in 1831, and after their first child was born, they decided to emigrate to Canada in 1832. There they settled in Upper Canada (Ontario) on a half-cleared farm. But bad investments lead them to sell the farm and move into the "bush," where they stayed until her husband became sheriff of the newly formed county of Hastings. During this time, in order to make ends meet, Susanna began publishing in local journals and ladies' magazines. Her best-known book is Roughing it in the Bush or, Life in Canada , published in two volumes in 1852 and it's sequel Life in the clearings versus the bush , 1853. Both books chronicle her and her family's trials and challenges faced as they tried to make a life for themselves in Canada. With honesty, humor and sometimes bitterness, Susanna describes her new life in Canada, and her difficulty of adapting to a new country. The book inspired Margaret Atwood to write a collection of poetry titled The Journals of Susanne Moodie Susanna continued to write long, Gothic novels, and after her husband died in 1869, she lived with her children's families, turning away from writing. She instead focused on painting, which she taught her daughter Agnes, who went on to illustrate Catherine Parr-Traill's books on Canadian wildflowers. During her last year, she was bedridden, suffering from what her sister called "brain fever." Susanna Moodie died in 1885 at the home of her eldest daughter, Katie Vickers. (by Lee Skallerup )

14. Margaret Atwood's "The Journals Of Susanna Moodie" The Journals of susanna moodie is possibly Margaret Atwood’s finest collection of poetry; it unquestionably is her most tightly organized book of poems. http://www.uwo.ca/english/canadianpoetry/cpjrn/vol02/bilan.htm

Margaret Atwood’s “The Journals of Susanna Moodie" by R. P. Bilan The Journals of Susanna Moodie My claim, however, that this book is tightly organized, and that to understand it properly one must take full account of the structure, seems to be denied by Atwood herself. In her interview with Graeme Gibson in Eleven Canadian Novelists Atwood explains how she wrote this series of poems: While this work may not have been written like a novel, it does focus on a central character and is tied to a chronological sequence showing her growth. Moreover, even assuming this is an accurate account of the way Atwood wrote the poems, once she had written them she obviously made a very careful arrangement. And despite what she says in the interview, her comments in the Afterword suggest a clear enough pattern and organization in the book. cause of her separation from the land. Her initial commitment is to all those things associated with light: civilization, reason, order. Only as she comes to accept the darker side of herself, and of nature, will she be able to change and grow. In The Journals of Susanne Moodie Surfacing comes to realize, beyond the realm of logic, reason, and civilized order.

INTRODUCTION An important early figure in the literary history of Canada, Moodie is best known for Roughing It in the Bush; or, Life in Canada (1852), a collection of sketches and poems that chronicles her experiences as a well-to-do immigrant from England dealing with harsh circumstances in the Canadian backwoods. Moodie was one of several authors in her family, which included her sisters Agnes Stickland and Catharine Parr Traill. Moodie's literary career began in England with juvenilia and religiously-oriented poems, though it was with the essentially non-fiction Roughing It in the Bush and Life in the Clearings versus the Bush (1853), a series of sketches about life in growing Canadian towns, that attracted the most critical attention. She also wrote several minor novels with Romantic and sentimental tones. Though Moodie has been viewed at times as anti-Canadian, her depictions of the emigrant experience are generally regarded as insightful and revealing.
