  • Anna Kavan Meets Frank Sargeson on a Special
    1 NGAIO MARSH, 23 April 1895—18 February 1982 Bruce Harding Dame Ngaio Marsh, the detective novelist, dramatist, short-story writer, theatre producer, non-fiction writer, scriptwriter, autobiographer, painter and critic was born in Christchurch, New Zealand on 23 April 1895. Her birth in the closing years of Queen Victoria’s reign and her childhood and adolescence in the twilight—albeit a transferred one—of the Edwardian era were to prove crucial in shaping the prevailing temper and tone of her outlook, particularly when Marsh set out to experiment with writing as a young woman. Her very name enacts a symbolic and liminal binary opposition between Old and New World elements: a confluence echoing the indigenous (the ngaio being a native New Zealand coastal tree) and the imported (a family surname from the coastal marshes of Kent, England). Seen thus, “Ngaio” connotes New World zest—a freshness of outlook, insight and titanic energy—while “Marsh” suggests an Old World gravitas grounded in notions of a stable, class-based lineage and secure traditions. The tension between these twin imperatives and hemispheres drove and energized Marsh’s career and life-pattern (of ongoing dualities: New Zealand-England; writing-production) and enabled her to live what Howard McNaughton has called an incognito/”alibi career” in a pre-jet age of sailing boats and vast distances and time horizons between her competing homelands (in Lidgard and Acheson, pp.94-100). Edith Ngaio Marsh’s Taurian date of birth was both richly symbolic and portentous, given that 23 April is both St George’s Day and the legendary birthdate of Marsh’s beloved Bard, Shakespeare.

  • Marsh, Edith Ngaio by Jane Stafford Biography
    Marsh, Edith Ngaio by Jane Stafford Biography Edith Ngaio Marsh was born on 23 April 1895 in Merivale, Christchurch, to Rose Elizabeth Seager and her husband, Henry Edmund Marsh, a clerk in the Bank of New Zealand in Christchurch. His daughter said of him, 'I can imagine nobody less naturally suited to his employment.' When Ngaio was around seven years old, her parents moved to Valley Road, Cashmere. The house that her father built there was to be her home for the rest of her life. She was educated first at a dame school run by Sibella E. Ross, and then in 1910 was enrolled at St Margaret's College, a private Anglican girls' school with a decided Anglo-Catholic bias. She remained there until 1913, active in literary and dramatic pursuits. Her play The moon princess was performed that year, with her mother taking the part of the witch. The Christchurch Press described it as 'a clever little play'. Between 1913 and 1919 Marsh attended Canterbury College School of Art as a part-time student, supplementing her income with private tutoring. Here she met Evelyn Polson (later Page), who became a lifelong friend, and Olivia Spencer Bower. She shared a studio in Cashel Street with a group of fellow students who were interested in innovative artistic styles and approaches. The orientation of the college was more formal and academic, but one of her teachers, Richard Wallwork, and his wife, Elizabeth, were sources of encouragement. She also formed friendships with the Acland family of Mount Peel sheep station and the Rhodes family of Meadowbank sheep station.

  • Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh, PD James And
    Midcentury Jacobeans: Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh, P.D. James and The Duchess of Malfi Dr. Jem Bloomfield University of Nottingham During the mid-twentieth century, a dramatic shift was taking place in the conceptualization of Early Modern drama. The internal tensions which had always beset the category of “Elizabethan” drama reached a critical point, and from that crisis the concept of “the Jacobean” emerged in all its horrific glory. Pascale Aebischer’s work on the Jacobean has set the terms of debate in two ways. Firstly, her metacritical history in the volume Jacobean Drama has traced the appearance of the term in scholarship and its shifting reputation amongst academics. Secondly, her development of the concept of the “contemporary Jacobean” (notably in Screening Early Modern Drama Today) has drawn on the work of Susan Bennett to demonstrate the ways in which Jacobean drama has provided a source for critical, dissident and resistant theatre and film in the late twentieth century.1 She has identified works such as Mike Figgis’ Hotel, Derek Jarman’s Edward II and Alex Cox’s Revenger’s Tragedy as exemplars of this “contemporary Jacobean” style, which is consciously deviant, transgressive, irreverent and anachronistic, setting itself up in opposition to the tradition of “heritage” Shakespeare films such as Branagh and Thompson’s Much Ado About Nothing and John Madden’s Shakespeare in Love. Aebischer’s ideas have been extended and debated by a number of other critics, including Courtney Lehmann, Jennifer Clement, and the scholars who contributed to a special issue of the journal Interdisciplinary 1 See also “Shakespearean Heritage and the Preposterous ‘Contemporary Jacobean’ Film: Mike Figgis’ Hotel”, Shakespeare Quarterly, 60.3, Fall 2009, pp.279-303.

    1 ‘THE AWFUL STUFF’: COLIN McCAHON, HIGH ART, AND THE COMMON CULTURE 1947-2000 Lara Strongman A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington In fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2013 2 Why this sudden uneasiness and confusion? (How serious the faces have become.) Why are the streets and squares emptying so quickly, As everyone turns homeward, deep in thought? Because it is night, and the barbarians have not arrived. And some people have come from the borders saying that there are no longer any barbarians. And now what will become of us, without any barbarians? After all, those people were a solution. — Constantin Cavafy, from ‘Waiting for the Barbarians’, 1904 3 CONTENTS ABSTRACT ............................................................................................................................... 5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ....................................................................................................... 7 LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS ................................................................................................... 11 INTRODUCTION: HIGH ART AND THE COMMON CULTURE ..................................... 14 A note on terms .................................................................................................................... 27 PART ONE: COLIN MCCAHON 1947-1950: ‘SEEKING CULTURE IN THE WRONG PLACES’ ................................................................................................................................
