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.

  • Ka Mate Ka Ora: a New Zealand Journal of Poetry and Poetics
    ka mate ka ora: a new zealand journal of poetry and poetics Issue 4 September 2007 Poetry at Auckland University Press Elizabeth Caffin Weathers on this shore want sorts of words. (Kendrick Smithyman, ‘Site’) Auckland University Press might never have been a publisher of poetry were it not for Kendrick Smithyman. It was his decision. As Dennis McEldowney recalls, a letter from Smithyman on 31 March 1967 offering the manuscript of Flying to Palmerston, pointed out that ‘it is to the university presses the responsibility is falling for publishing poetry. Pigheaded and inclined to the parish pump, I would rather have it appear in New Zealand if it appears anywhere’.1 Dennis, who became Editor of University Publications in 1966 and in the next two decades created a small but perfectly formed university press, claimed he lacked confidence in judging poetry. But Kendrick and C. K. Stead, poets and academics both, became his advisors and he very quickly established an impressive list. At its core were the great New Zealand modernist poets. Dennis published five books by Smithyman, three by Stead and three by Curnow starting with the marvellous An Incorrigible Music in 1979.2 Curnow and Smithyman were not young and had published extensively elsewhere but most would agree that their greatest work was written in their later years; and AUP published it. Soon a further group of established poets was added: three books by Elizabeth Smither, one by Albert Wendt, one by Kevin Ireland. And then a new generation, the exuberant poets of the 1960s and 1970s such as Ian Wedde (four books), Bill Manhire, Bob Orr, Keri Hulme, Graham Lindsay, Michael Harlow.
