Roughing it in the Bush, Or, Life in CanadaMcGill-Queen's Press - MQUP, 1988 - 680 páginas Susanna Moodie (1803-1885) is the author of the best-known narrative of Canadian pioneer settlement life, Roughing It in the Bush. The story of her family's struggles to establish themselves in an environment they found to be strange, enchanting, hostile, and amusing, Roughing It is a highly detailed portrait of frontier conditions in Upper Canada in the 1830s. This new edition of Susanna's most important work offers for the first time the complete version that she intended for the public to read in 1852, including a chapter that has until now been omitted--from back cover. |
