An accomplished miniaturist, landscape artist, and writer, Langton documented ten years of family and community hardship and growth in her journals, letters, and art, and traced her own physical and psychological transformation from cultivated Englishwoman to hard-working pioneer settler.

This new, significantly expanded edition includes many of Langtons original illustrations and reveals Langtons views on writing, art, and womens social and familial roles in nineteenth-century Europe and Canada. In her extensive introduction, Barbara Williams contextualizes Langtons life and work and reflects on them in light of current scholarship in life writing, art history, and early emigrant, cultural, and social history.
