The Oxford History of New Zealand Literature in English

by Terry Sturm (Editor)

" The first comprehensive history of New Zealand literature, this volume includes chapters on the novel, poetry, and the short story, as well as sections on drama, non-fiction, children's literature, popular literature, and the history of publishing, patronage, and literary magazines. While it features major authors, this history also contains information on little-known authors and forgotten periods in New Zealand's literary history, providing more comprehensive information on the subject than has ever appeared in a single volume before.

Ex-library reference book so has library stamps and an orange squiggle on the bottom but is otherwise in very good condition

The dust jacket is protected by plastic

I beleive it is a first edition
