This is the story of poorly-endowed Taranaki dairy farm in the 1920s. The author assumes that the lives he describes are interesting for their own sake, without the need to import any artificial devices of plot, or to move outside the natural idiom of his characters.

Picking Up the Traces

The story of the generation of New Zealand writers who came of age in the 1930s and who deliberately and decisively changed the course of literature is told in this book, shedding important new light on the key participants, including Allen Curnow, Denis Glover, and Robin Hyde. The movement is traced through small circulation magazines and small press publications from 1932 to 1941.

Whole Men

Kai Jensen takes a provocative look at masculinity in New Zealand literature. He argues that New Zealand writing around the Second World War was shaped by excitement about masculinity as a way of challenging society. Inspired partly by Marxism, writers such as A.R.D. Fairburn, Denis Glover, John Mulgan and Frank Sargeson linked national identity to the ordinary working man or soldier, and attempted to merge artistic activity and manliness in a new ideal, the whole man.

From the pastrues of Hampshire, England and castles of Bayern, Germany to the hills of North Carolina, the Franks and Hill families sought out new beginnings as they came to the Americas in the 1700s. They fought in every battle in their new home; the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the Korean War and WWI andWW2. Amongst them was John Sevier, originally Xavier from France, his father and uncle stowed away on board a ship and came to the Americas before the Revolution. John Sevier became a leading member of the new westward movement and in 1784 petitioned Congress to create the State of Franklin out of property in western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee.
