The narrative that emerged from this meeting was The History of Mary Prince, which played a role in the fight for slave emancipation in the British Empire. Prince disappeared once the battle was won, while Strickland emigrated to Upper Canada and, as Susanna Moodie, became an often quoted 19th century Canadian writer. Prince dictated, Strickland copied, and the whole was lightly edited by Thomas Pringle, the anti-slavery publisher at whose house the meeting took place. This is the standard account. In contesting this version, the paper aims to reinstate Moodie as co-creator of the collaborative Mary Prince text by considering multiple accounts of the meeting with Prince and to place the work in the context of Moodie's pre- and post-emigration oeuvre on both sides of the AtlanticLeta 1831 se v Londonu srečata pomembni ženski: Mary Prince, nekdanja sužnja z Bermudov, ki je našla onkraj Atlantika pogojno prostost, in angleška pisateljica Susanna Strickland. Srečanje obrodi pripoved z naslovom Zgodovina Mary Prince, ki je odigrala svojo vlogo v boju zoper suženjstvo v britanskem imperiju. Po zmagi se je za Prince izgubila vsaka sled, medtem ko je Strickland emigrirala v Zgornjo Kanado, kjer je postala kot Susanna Moodie pogosto citirana kanadska pisateljica 19. stoletja. Kar je Prince narekovala Strickland, je potrpežljivo uredil Thomas Pringle, založnik in borec proti suženjstvu, v čigar hiši sta se ženski sestajali. Takšna je splošno sprejeta verzija, ki pa jo članek izpodbija z vzpostavljanjem Moodie kot soustvarjalke skupnega besedila Mary Prince, in sicer tako, da upošteva mnogotera poročila o sestajanjih s Mary Prince ter umešča delo v kontekst Moddiejinega opusa na obeh straneh Atlantika, to je pred njeno emigracijo ter po njejTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Filozofska fakulteta, Znanstvena založba
