Resumen
Susanna Moodie's Roughing It in the Bush shows an uncommon depiction of nature in 19th century Canadian literature. To prove this thesis statement it is essential to consider the general positive literary perspective of the era that is also present in her sister Catharine Parr Traill's writings. An analysis of Moodie's historical and social determinants of forced emigration, social class and gender is made, since they contribute to the purpose of discouraging middle-class British society from immigrating to Canada. The bleak Canadian nature also contributes to her failure as settler since her experience is far away from the sublime. The change from an idealized to a realistic representation of nature, absent in other works of Moodie, reinforces her purpose.
