Susanna Moodie was already a published author when she emigrated from England to Upper Canada with her husband and baby in 1832. The Moodies were seeking financial security and a better life in the colony, but they found themselves struggling to make a living on a bush farm. Despite her primitive life in the backwoods and the demands of caring for her children, Susanna continued to write and publish. In 1852 her best-known book, Roughing It in the Bush, was published in England. A Canadian edition appeared in 1871. Roughing It in the Bush has endured both as a valuable social document of the Canadian pioneer experience and as a work of literature.

Controversial painter Elaine Risley returns from Vancouver for a retrospective of her work. Here, in Toronto, the city of her youth, she confronts the submerged layers of her past – her unconventional family, her eccentric and brilliant brother, the self-righteous Mrs. Smeath, and the two men Elaine later came to love in diverse and sometimes disastrous ways. But it is the enigmatic Cordelia, once her tormentor, then her best friend, whose elusive yet powerful presence in her life Elaine finally comes to understand. The realm of childhood and growing up, with its secrecies, cruelties, betrayals, and terrors, has never been so brilliantly evoked. By turns disquieting, humorous, compassionate, haunting and mordant, Cat’s Eye is vintage Atwood.

Although Roughing It in the Bush appears on almost every course in Canadian literature, and her writing has been a staple for Canadian literary scholars and historians of succeeding generations, this is the first critical biography of Susanna Moodie. The product of many years of research, it should prove invaluable to anyone interested in Canadian literature and cultural history. Peterman's illustrated biography introduces readers to the complex, driven, and sensitive woman who in 1832 left the cloistered world of middle-class life in England to take up homesteading in the backwoods of Ontario. Drawing upon the letters of Susanna Moodie as well as the full corpus of her work, Peterman looks at her rich and varied life, revealing her tendency to embrace extreme positions, and assessing the various sources of tension in her temperament, especially as they affected her written work. Peterman begins with Moodie's ultimately failed attempt to fashion herself as a spokesperson for Canada's future after she had achieved some celebrity with the publication of Roughing It in the Bush (1852). The chapters that follow provide a larger context for understanding her work, and the effect that notoriety had upon her, as Peterman discusses Moodie's early life in England (1803–32), her experiences in the backwoods of Canada (1832–39), her years in Belleville (1840–69), and her widowhood (1869–85). , Paperback, Ausgabe: First Edition, Label: ECW Press, ECW Press, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 1999-11-01, Studio: ECW Press.
