Historical Fiction
Since the latter part of the twentieth century, there has been a noticeable turn towards fiction that draws on historical materials, people, and events to reframe the politics of both the past and the present. This turn was signalled by Linda Hutcheon in 1988 as part of postmodernism. In recent years, and particularly in the postcolonial settler literatures of Australia, Canada, New Zealand the intersections of history and fiction have become sig…
Newspapers and Journals
This chapter examines how novels in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the South Pacific were reviewed and publicized, and how readerships were informed and created. Literary journalism in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the South Pacific varies according to the populations, histories, and communications infrastructure of each location. In general, a common pattern has been initial evaluations of work against British and European, then latte…
Uneasy Occupancy
Dickens in New Zealand
Four months after the first settlers of the New Zealand Company landed on a windswept beach in Wellington New Zealand in 1840, they founded the first Pickwick Club outside Great Britain. The expressed aim of the Club was to spread the ‘fame of the author’ in ‘this savage land’, but it is an interesting paradox that a novel which makes fun of British institutions should also be the inspiration to earnestly reproduce them in the shanty towns of emp…
Reading Dickens
Discusses communities of readers and the reception of Dickens in 19th century Australia and New Zealand. 'The very large colonial Dickens network, of references to a common corpus of characters, plots and ideas, illustrates both the social process by which reading and writing transfers across distance and manifests a reading community, and the social formation reading participates in: shared reading and shared culture. Mrs Gamp stands as the figu…

Colonial Discourses Niupepa Māori 1855–1863 (review)
Reviewed by: Colonial Discourses Niupepa Māori 1855–1863 Lydia Wevers Colonial Discourses Niupepa Māori 1855–1863. By Lachy Paterson. (Otago: University of Otago Press 2006). Since the Niupepa Māori (newspapers in Māori) were digitised in the mid 1990s, they have sustained major new scholarship. Even digitised, Niupepa Māori are still not easy. Of the nine papers which form the basis of Lachy Paterson’s eight year historical study, only one of th…

Becoming Native
In focussing on four Australian novels on the New Zealand (or Maori) Wars, Wevers discusses these questions: â Why were Australian writers drawn to the New Zealand Wars as a fictional location, and how were these novels received in New Zealand? Who were their audience, and what narratives of colonial worlds were being worked through them?â (319)
Terra Australis
Since the finding of the Australian High Court in what has come to be known as the Mabo decision of January 1992, the phrase Terra Australis which is much used by Herbert might be taken to represent a significantly altered conceptual space, a space whose history and geography no longer begin in terra nullius and terra incognita but in Mabo country, a terrain whose distinctiveness has shifted away from the binary patterns of city and bush, constru…
