Book
Paperback. Condition: Good. 335 pages. Over the last three decades New Zealand literature has changed radically as New Zealand has become more diverse and more independent of its colonial origins. In place of a small li terary culture-nationalist, realist, Pakeha and masculine in outl ook-we now find a variety of styles, kinds, voices. In response t o these changes, writing about New Zealand literature has also ch anged. Since the mid 1980s, criticism in New Zealand has sought t o come to terms with feminism, culture studies, postmodernism, po st-colonialism indigenous writing. This book collects new essays by writers and critics who have taken part in this process of ass imilation and debate. The aim is not to announce a new orthodoxy or to impose some imported critical methodology on local writing. Rather the book shows how some well-known New Zealand authors-Ma nsfield, Sargeson, Hyde, Frame-can be read and reinterpreted from a number of critical perspectives and how different types of wri ting can be freshly reconsidered. The essays are lively, various, challenging. They re-examine New Zealand's past, question long-h eld assumptions, analyze the contemporary scene, and indicate new directions. Editorial Reviews About the Author Mark Williams i s senior lecturer in English at the University of Canterbury.
