Wednesday 26 July 2017 at 7pm at Lady Goodfellow Chapel Presentation by our member Miles Barker on Going Behind the Lines: New Zealand Writer Robyn Hyde in China, 1938 In February 1938 New Zealand writer Robyn Hyde called in to Hong Kong on a journey by sea to Britain to further her writing career. Acting on an impulse, she interrupted her plans and spent five months in China. In war-torn Shanghai she met Rewi Alley and was grateful for the time he spent showing her the city’s appalling social conditions - although their dialogue was to become intense and divergent. She was befriended by New Zealander James Bertram, who was then attached to the Eighth Route Army in north-west China. She became acquainted with other resident foreign friends of China like Agnes Smedley and Edgar Snow, and she interviewed Madam Soong Qingling, Aware of the Japanese invasion pouring into north-east China, Hyde sought and obtained work as an on-the-spot war correspondent. She made her way north from Guangzhou and into the zone of occupation in Anhui province. Apprehended by the Japanese, her treatment varied from civil to brutal. Eventually released, she made her way perilously northwards and back to the British embassy at Qingdao. ‘Robyn Hyde’ was actually her pen name. Born in 1906 and christened Iris Wilkinson, she was to produce ten books of poetry and prose and countless other articles and letters. To support her writing, she worked as a journalist, reporter and a newspaper editor in Wellington, Wanganui and Auckland. Beset by personal difficulties and needing periods of psychiatric help, she nevertheless played a major role in New Zealand’s literary scene in the 1930s, associating with Frank Sargeson, A. R. D. Fairburn, John Mulgan, Jane Mander, and others. Ill, depressed and near destitute when she arrived in London in September 1938, but supported by Bertram and others with New Zealand and literary connections, she managed to write and publish ‘Dragon Rampant’. This book, documenting her experiences in China, has helped to establish her as a significant figure in New Zealand/China pre-World-War II relations. She died in London in August 1939. Today Robin Hyde is considered to be a major figure in New Zealand’s literary history.

  • China Through the Eyes of Foreigners in the 1920S and 1930S
    Beyond the ‘Shanghailander’: China through the eyes of foreigners in the 1920s and 1930s ALEX PAN Abstract This article explores foreign perspectives and insights into Chinese society during the 1920s and 1930s, by examining two foreigners’ personal accounts of life in China. Adopting a microhistory approach, the paper treats these personal accounts as historically significant sources, despite their inherently limited subject matter. Moreover, as in traditional historical interpretation, the article maintains that such personal accounts can serve as microcosms that reflect and illuminate wider historical trends and perspectives. The accounts of businessman Rex Phillips, read alongside those of travelling salesman Harry Glathe, highlight the diverse perspectives that Westerners had on China. Phillips’s writings illuminate how Westerners may have viewed China as a dangerous, backwards, war-torn nation, either with disdain or relative sympathy. Meanwhile, Glathe’s writings showcase a more Orientalist perspective, viewing China as a quaint, exotic, but developing country. By treating Phillips’s and Glathe’s sources as historical commentaries, further insight is gained into Chinese society at the time. Phillips’s letters and photographs detail his life in cosmopolitan Shanghai, while Glathe’s detailed descriptions and striking photographs of southern China enrich our understandings of the diversity of Chinese social experiences during the Republican period (1912– 1949). Ultimately, these sources enrich our understanding of both China’s social development and the diversity of Western racial and national perspectives during this period. Introduction This paper explores Chinese society and Western racism during the 1920s and 1930s through the personal accounts of Rex Phillips and Harry Glathe. While both were white businessmen who lived in China concurrently, their differing experiences and perspectives offer insight into the nature of Chinese society and how Westerners viewed China during this period.

  • Robin Hyde and the Long Shadows in the Ladies' Gallery
    Robin Hyde and the Long Shadows in the Ladies’ Gallery NIKKI HESSELL Abstract Robin Hyde reported from the Ladies‘ Gallery of the New Zealand Parliament sporadically over seven years. Her reports have been considered in past scholarship but have not been previously located within the tradition of New Zealand women‘s gallery journalism. This essay argues that Hyde‘s reports demonstrate strong stylistic and journalistic connections to this tradition, and that these connections in turn inform some of the negative responses her work received from the cultural nationalist writers of the 1930s. In her unpublished novel The Unbelievers, Robin Hyde makes effective use of her time as a parliamentary correspondent in the 1920s and early 1930s. Her protagonists, Echo and Jarah, decide to attend a debate in the House, with Jarah disguising himself as a woman in order to enter the Ladies‘ Gallery. Echo attempts to follow the debate about wages but finds that it was so full of interpolations and pointless argument, of sarcastic reference from one gentleman as to what another gentleman was recorded as having said ten years before, of the crackling of newspapers and of the deep bass snores of a Maori member, who lay full length on one of the Treasury benches with his boots off, (for which Echo could not bring herself to blame him,) that she could not keep her mind on the game.1 Eventually Echo goes into a kind of trance, in which snatches of Robert Louis Stevenson‘s poetry blend in with the phrases of the debate: ‗Equality of sacrifice … time of crisis ..

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract My thesis examines changing conceptions of colonial, artistic and female identity. I build on the work of previous critics (including Ash, Parkin-Gounelas, Pride, Sandbrook, Wevers), but I seek to place renewed emphasis on literary-historical context and questions of aesthetic value. My introductory chapter grounds the twentieth-century works in literary analyses of a sample of published nineteenth-century accounts by British women of their emigration to New Zealand. These women ahgn expatriation with bereavement, yet advocate the colony’s new egalitarianism. The chapter ends with a reading of Victorian fiction by ' Ahen' (Louisa Baker: once popular, but now seldom read), for whom expatriation was already a complex matter. For ' Ahen’, the New Zealander’s return to England connotes artistic self­ betterment and women’s entry into valuable work: themes crucial to Mansfield, in whose early prose expatriation represents similar hberation.

  • Iris Wilkinson (Robin Hyde) 1906 – 1939 Iris Wilkinson, Better Known By
    Iris Wilkinson (Robin Hyde) 1906 – 1939 Iris Wilkinson, better known by her pen-name of Robin Hyde, was one of New Zealand’s major poets and writers. During her short, tumultuous and incredibly productive life, she was ‘brilliant, beautiful, difficult and doomed’, according to the biographyi co-authored by her son Derek Challis. Her parents emigrated here from South Africa when she was a baby. They rented a series of dingy houses in Newtown, Melrose and Berhampore and she went to South Wellington School and Berhampore School, where she was dux in 1918. She later wrote about her early life in her autobiographical novel The Godwits Fly. In 1919 her father bought their first home (92 Northland Road), using a Government war service payment. Wilkinson attended Wellington Girls’ College, where her writing was encouraged, although she later described the school as stodgy and cold. Many of her poems and stories appeared in the school magazine between 1919 and 1922; in 1921, she was called ‘the Schoolgirl Poetess’ when The Dominion recognised the quality of her writing. Wilkinson briefly attended Victoria University, then – aged 17 – joined The Dominion as a journalist on the women’s pages. She had a love affair with one of her father’s protégés, Harry Sweetman, which was fictionalised in The Godwits Fly. They planned to go to Europe together, but following a knee operation she spent months in hospital, leaving on crutches, lame for life, dependent on opiates for pain relief, and discovered that Harry had gone alone. Wilkinson became pregnant during a brief affair and in 1926 moved to Sydney, where her son was stillborn.
