Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 335 pages. Over the last three decades New Zealand literature has changed radically as N ew Zealand has become more diverse and more independent of its colonial origins. In place of a small literary culture-nationalist, realist, Pakeha and masculine in outlook-we now find a variety of styles, kinds…, voices. In response to these changes, writing about New Zealand literature has also changed. Since the mid 1 980s, criticism in New Zealand has sought to come to terms with feminism, cultur e studies, postmodernism, post-colonialism indigenous writing. This book collect s new essays by writers and critics who have taken part in this process of assim ilation 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-Mansfield, Sargeson, Hyde, Frame-can be read and reinterpreted from a number of critical perspectives and how different types of writing can be freshly reconsidered. The essays are lively, various, challenging . They re-examine New Zealand's past, question long-held assumptions, analyze th e contemporary scene, and indicate new directions. Editorial Reviews About the Author Mark Williams is senior lecturer in English at the University of Canterb ury.
