Letters of Love and Duty: The Correspondence of Susanna and John Moodie
Summary
This exchange of letters between Canadian author Susanna Moodie (1803-1885) and her husband John (1797-1869) came to light in 1988. Extensively cross-referenced to the 1985 collection of her correspondence, Susanna Letters of a Lifetime , the present volume tells the Moodies' story more in John's than in Susanna's words. The letters cover the days of their courtship and emigration; the periods apart from each other during and after the 1837 rebellion; life in Belleville as public figures in their respective ways; their involvement with spiritualism; their later years and eventual separation by death. Essays and notes accompany each section. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
