The letters provide a sense of Moodie's literary accomplishments before her emigration, the long, uncertain struggle to develop her career as a writer in the colony, and the brief but intense period of literary activity during which her books were published in Britain and the U.S Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record Subject Moodie, Susanna, 1803-1885 -- Correspondence SUBJECT Moodie, Susanna, 1803-1885 fast Subject Frontier and pioneer life -- Ontario Authors, Canadian -- 19th century -- Correspondence Women authors, Canadian -- 19th century -- Correspondence LITERARY CRITICISM -- American -- General.
