Autorenporträt
Susanna Moodie, née Strickland (1803–1885), was a British-born Canadian author who chronicled her experiences as an immigrant in Canada through poetic, didactic, and starkly realistic narratives. Born on December 6, 1803, in Suffolk, England, she was part of a literary family, with her sisters, notably Catherine Parr Traill, also gaining recognition as writers. Moodie's early work involved children's literature and poetry, but she is most distinguished for her contributions to Canadian literature, especially her emigrant's narrative, 'Roughing It in the Bush' (1852) and the sequel 'Life in the Clearings versus the Bush' (1853). Her writing provides valuable insights into the lives and struggles of early settlers in Canada, as well as the complex relationships between settlers and the indigenous peoples. Moodie's literary style reflects the Romantic movement with a strong emphasis on individual experience and reflection on nature. Her works are characterized by a blend of personal anecdote, social commentary, and descriptive imagery that vividly portrayed pioneer life. 'Life in the Clearings versus the Bush' details Moodie's observations and experiences following her move from the isolated bush to the more settled regions of Canada, illuminating her evolving perspective on the Canadian wilderness and society. Through her compelling narratives, Moodie has earned a place among the notable figures in early Canadian literature and has been the subject of scholarly attention for her role in shaping the country's literary and cultural heritage.
