Never a Soul at Home: New Zealand Literary Nationalism and the 1930'sVictoria University Press, 1998 - 296 sider The generation of writers that came to prominence in the 1930s laid down the framework for modern New Zealand literature. This book looks at the beginnings of those writers' careers, at the influences of events like the Depression and the onset of war, and at the role of cultural institutions. Ultimately, it is about the myths that surround the 1930s writers, and the myths they made. |
