	History of Intellectual Culture 2001, Vol. 1, No. 1
		Susanna Moodie was a nineteenth century British immigrant to the backwoods of Canada, and her autobiographical text provides a narrative context from which both Margaret Atwood and Charles Pachter respectively grapple with and negotiate the complex, polyglossic nature of Canadian culture, identity, and art.
		Moodie experiences moments of profound reconciliation with the harsh wilderness; she admits that, at times, the landscape "won [her] from [her] melancholy" (Moodie 1989, 90), and recalls a moving moment of oneness with the land, in which "a portion of [her] own spirit seemed to pass into.
		Moodie is divided down the middle: she praises the Canadian landscape but accuses it of destroying her; she dislikes the people already in Canada but finds in people her only refuge from the land itself; she preaches progress and the march of civilization while brooding elegaically upon the destruction of the wilderness.

	Susanna Moodie (1803-1885) - Biographies - Canadian Poetry Archive
		Susanna Moodie was a prolific writer of poetry, short stories, articles and novels, but is best known for Roughing It in the Bush, a personal narrative of her immigration to the Canadian wilderness that has become a Canadian literary classic.
		Moodie’s frank and vivid account of her pioneering experiences is depicted with humour and restraint and demonstrates her powers of observation and insight.
		Susanna had enjoyed a strong emotional and intellectual relationship with her husband, and she was devastated by his loss.

	Dictionary of Canadian Biography
		Susanna, for example, later wrote fondly of the region in Roughing it in the bush as the source of her literary aspirations: “It was while reposing beneath those noble trees that I had first indulged in those delicious dreams which are a foretaste of the enjoyments of the spirit-land.
		Susanna’s book opens with a reference to “the Dreadful Cholera” and closes with a metaphor for the backwoods, “the prison-house.” Between the two there is certainly much dwelling on sickness, death, danger, and near-disaster; in other words, the book presents a largely, though not exclusively, negative view of pioneering in Canada.
		That Susanna delighted in the study of human beings and was able to get them to talk about themselves is clearly evident in Flora Lyndsay as well as in the other two books of the trilogy; she listened and observed carefully and was able to capture humour and pathos in her reproductions.

	Margaret Atwood's "The Journals of Susanna Moodie"
		Moodie is beginning to come to terms with the land, and beginning to recognize that the trees are her guide in her journey to self understanding.
		Moodie fails to see any meaning in the things around her, but there is a suggestion that it is there, that the sun, branches, blue movement could be seen in a unified way.
		Moodie never gets this far, but in the fourth stanza of the poem, as she steps into “a different kind of room” she encounters, or rather, imagines she encounters, the land, the wilderness now excluded by the city.

	"The Casket of Truth": the Social Significance of Susanna Moodie's Spiritual Dilemmas
		Moodie had taught in the Sunday School of her Congregationalist chapel in England (letter 22), but was not present when the Belleville body "unanimously resolved to hold a Sabbath School in connection with the Church" (7 March 1845).
		Moodie was told by a spirit that to fulfil his longing to be a medium, he must reveal his belief in spiritualism to the world; his dead brother told him he must rid himself of doubts (SA 18-19).
		Moodie yearns deeply for her husband, but that she never tried to contact his spirit is further evidence that she had lost faith in spiritualism.

	Textos
		Susanna Moodie, like her older sister Catharine Parr Traill, began her literary career early, publishing her first novel by the time she was nineteen.
		In fact, Moodie has become a mythic figure for modern Canadians-so much so that Margaret Atwood responded to her Canadian chronicles with a collection of poems, The Journals of Susanna Moodie (I97o), that in its own way has become as much of a classic as Roughing It.
		Indeed, what most engages the modern reader is that although Moodie reveals herself as melancholy, inflexible, and proud to the point of condescension, she still continues to struggle against the perpetual defeat of her hopes, all the while giving vent to a confused mixture of feelings.

		Thurston examines Moodie's life in England and in Upper Canada, demonstrating that both her religious beliefs - Nonconformist, unlike her older sisters' high Anglicanism - and her experience of being part of the 'struggling' and downwardly mobile British middle-class were critical influences on her writing.
		By that decade, Thurston argues, the Moodies identified with the Upper Canadian professional and business class, a group whose principal tenets were 'industry, commerce, and wealth' and whose hegemonic grip on the colony was solidified during the middle decades of the nineteenth century (81).
		Throughout most of her adult life, Susanna was not only busy writing, emigrating, and settling but also giving birth and raising children; we hear very little about the potential tensions and stresses this responsibility may have caused or about gendered division of labours within the Moodie household.

		Elizabeth Thompson's edition of Susanna Moodie's Roughing It in the Bush is one of the Canadian Critical Editions published by Tecumseh Press under the direction of John Moss and Gerald Lynch.
		Susanna Moodie's voice, furthermore, had become less humorous and more hysterical than in the first impression.
		Still, this `critical setting,' with its examples of Susanna Moodie's other life writings and reviews, criticisms, and a checklist of material relevant to Roughing It, is the most successful aspect of this volume.

	CM Magazine: Susanna Moodie: A Life.
		Most of the material for the biography comes from Susanna's own writings, and so it is perhaps not surprising that "adulatory" seems a more appropriate adjective than "critical" to apply to this work.
		In Susanna's case, this tendency is compounded since some of her life story is in fact written in the third person as a novel, leading one to suspect that the line between fact and fiction in her mind and her writings was perhaps not firmly drawn.
		Their first home in Canada was not in the bush at all, but on an already cleared farm that John Moodie bought, but then, through a series of bad judgments and worse advice, decided to give up.
