The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. METAMORPHOSIS AT 'THE MARGIN': BRUCE MASON, JAMES K. BAXTER, MERVYN THOMPSON, RENtE AND ROBERT LORD, FIVE PLAYWRIGHTS WHO HAVE HELPED TO CHANGE THE FACE OF NEW ZEALAND DRAMA. A thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy III English at Massey University [Palmerston North], New Zealand Susan Lillian Williams 2006 11 DEDICATION I dedicate this thesis to my grandfather and my mother, neither of whom had the privilege of gaining the education that they both so much deserved. I stand on their shoulders, just as my son, David, will stand on mine. The writing of this thesis, however, would not have been possible without the unstinting assistance of Ainslie Hewton. Finally, to my irreplaceable friend,Zeb, the puppy I wanted and never had as a child. Zeb nurtured me throughout this long project and then, in the last week of completion, was called by the black rabbit. Thank you for everything you taught me Zebedee. You and I will always be playing alongside your beloved riverbank. III ABSTRACT Drama has been the slowest of the arts to develop an authentic New Zealand 'voice.' This thesis focuses on the work of five playwrights: Bruce Mason, James K. Baxter, Mervyn Thompson, Renee and Robert Lord, all of whom have set out to identify such a 'voice' and in so doing have brought about a metamorphosis in the nature of New Zealand drama. -

Katherine Mansfield on the French Riviera
Katherine Mansfield on the French Riviera Menton, France 24–25 September 2020 An international symposium organised by the Katherine Mansfield Society, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Katherine Mansfield Menton Fellowship Hosted by the Town Hall of Menton, and supported by the Katherine Mansfield Menton Fellowship The Symposium will feature a keynote panel of prestigious New Zealand authors, all former Mansfield Menton Fellows CALL FOR ABSTRACTS The New Zealand short story writer Katherine Mansfield (1888–1923) spent all her adult life in Europe, of which approximately three years in total were spent in France, where she later died. For much of this time she was on the French Riviera, firstly in Bandol and subsequently in Menton during the spring of 1920, and then staying at the Villa Isola Bella from September 1920 to May 1921. Both Bandol and Menton proved fertile ground for Mansfield’s creativity. During two sojourns in Bandol (1916 and 1918), she completed ‘The Aloe’ and wrote ‘Je ne parle pas français’, ‘Sun and Moon’, and ‘Bliss’. The time she spent at the Villa Isola Bella in Menton resulted in ‘The Singing Lesson’, ‘The Young Girl’, ‘The Stranger’, ‘Miss Brill’, ‘Poison’, ‘The Lady’s Maid’, ‘The Daughters of the Late Colonel’, and ‘Life of Ma Parker’. Mansfield’s life in the south of France also engendered comments in her notebooks and diaries, as well as in her letters. For example, near the end of a letter to her husband, John Middleton Murry, written from Menton, she wrote, ‘You will find ISOLA BELLA in poker work on my heart’. -

Janet Frame Lecture 2011
JANET FRAME LECTURE 2011 Warm Greetings: In this, the 2011 Janet Frame lecture, I wish to talk about the short but astonishingly successful history of children’s literature in this country; but before I do that, I’d like to thank the New Zealand Society of Authors for their generosity. As you may know, the Janet Frame lecture, is delivered by the Honorary President of the Society. I assure you I have done nothing to earn this title apart from being one of the oldest members of the NZSA. In the 1960s, we were part of the global PEN and we are still affiliated with PEN; and I was nominated for membership by Monte Holcroft, editor of the NZ Listener, on the strength of two short stories. The account of my first PEN meeting is recorded in the memoir Navigation, but I’ll mention it again here. I was a somewhat shy young woman, a farmers wife with four small children, and Mr Holcroft had said I should attend the December PEN meeting. I went by train from Palmerston North to Wellington, found The Terrace and the venue in Wakefield House, and hesitantly walked in. The room was full of voices and tobacco smoke, with most people around a bar at the other end. Mr Holcroft was not there. I knew no one and no one knew me. I stood in the middle of the room for perhaps a minute, feeling like a goldfish that had jumped her bowl, then decided to go back to the railway station and wait for a train home.
