Flora Lyndsay; or, Passages in an Eventful Life : A Novel by Susanna Moodie Paperback / softback

Edited by Michael A. Peterman

Part of the Canadian Literature Collection series

Paperback / softback

Description

Flora Lyndsay is Susanna Moodie's prequel to Roughing it in the Bush and Life in the Clearings.

Though Moodie fictionalizes herself in the context of this novel, Flora Lyndsay remains a close personalized record of her family's experiences in planning their emigration and crossing the Atlantic.

Despite the limited critical attention it receives, Flora Lyndsay reveals Moodie's style, her sense of form, and her distinctive approach to writing female autobiography.

This edition, complete with a wide corpus of endnotes, an extensive list of emendations, and a critical introduction, helps address this oversight and gives a closer look at the iconic phenomenon that is Susanna Moodie.
