The May meeting of the Peterborough Historical Society will feature a lecture and book launch. Prior to emigrating to the Peterborough area in 1832, Susanna Moodie was associated with the Anti-Slavery Society in London and published two anti-slavery tracts. Speakers Molly Blyth and Michael Peterman, editors of a forthcoming book, Mary Prince and Ashton Warner: Two Slave Narratives Transcribed by Susanna Moodie, will discuss their research and discoveries. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the event.
Molly Blyth holds a PhD in Canadian Studies from Trent University where she taught for over 30 years. Michael Peterman is Professor Emeritus of English Literature at Trent University and has published several books and articles on Susanna Moodie, Catharine Parr Traill and other writers of the Peterborough area.
