Described by Fiona Kidman as a ‘ravishing, immersing read’, A Strange Beautiful Excitement is a ‘wild ride’ through the Wellington of Katherine Mansfield’s childhood. From the grubby, wind-blasted streets of Thorndon to the hushed green valley of Karori, author Redmer Yska, himself raised in Karori, retraces Mansfield’s old ground: the sights, sounds and smells of the rickety colonial capital, as experienced by the budding writer. Along the way his encounters and dogged research – into her Beauchamp ancestry, the social landscape, the festering, deadly surroundings – lead him (and us) to reevaluate long- held conclusions about the writer’s shaping years.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. From Aspiring to ‘Paradise’: the South Island myth and its enemies A critical and creative investigation into the (de)construction of Aotearoa’s Lakes District presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in Creative Writing at Massey University, Palmerston North,New Zealand. Annabel Wilson 2014 ii Abstract Poetry and film are artistic modes for representing, interpreting and evaluating our environment. Aotearoa’s poets have distilled the meanings we place on ‘places of the heart’ since the first oral histories and lyrics were composed. Kiwi filmmakers have also fixed their gaze on places layered with cultural significance, selecting Edens at various stages of the Fall as settings for their protagonists to mess about in. With New Zealand’s unique position as the last place on earth to be populated, the human response to this landscape is a significant aspect of the nation’s psyche, and the relationship between people and place remains an enduring motif in local writing and cinema. My research stems from an exploration of the poetic and on-screen representations of the Central Otago region as a cultural landscape generated by a variety of spectators. This paper takes an excursion into the high country of Te Wai Pounamu to see how two key places have been sighted in terms of the South Island myth.
