Title: The Oxford history of New Zealand literature in English
Description: This is the first comprehensive history of New Zealand literature. Chapters on the novel, poetry, and the short story, which have been the staple of other histories and surveys, have been augmented by sections on drama, non-fiction, children's literature, popular literature, and the history ofpublishing, patronage, and literary magazines. While major authors figure prominently, this book also contains a wealth of information about lesser known figures of, and forgotten periods in, the country's literary history.
