Description:
<p><i>Flora Lyndsay</i> is Susanna Moodie’s prequel to <i>Roughing it in the Bush</i> and <i>Life in the Clearings</i>. Though Moodie fictionalizes herself in the context of this novel, <i>Flora Lyndsay</i> remains a close personalized record of her family’s experiences in planning their emigration and crossing the Atlantic.</p>
<p>Despite the limited critical attention it receives, <i>Flora Lyndsay</i> 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.</p>
