It explores the evolution of a distinctive regional literature that both shaped and was shaped by the physical and historical environment that inspired it. Looking westwards towards Australia and long shut off within New Zealand by the South Island's rugged Southern Alps, the West Coast was a land of gold, coal and timber. In the 1950s and 1960s, it nurtured a literature that embodied a sense of belonging to an Australasian world and captured the aspirations of New Zealand's emergent radical nationalism. More recent West Coast writers, observing the hollowing out of their communities, saw in miniature and in advance the growing gulf between city and regional economies aligned to an older economic order losing its relevance. Were they chronicling the last hurrah of a retreating age or crafting a literature of regional resistance? 001396408 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001396408 650_0 $$aNew Zealand literature$$y20th century$$xHistory and criticism. 001396408 650_0 $$aAuthors, New Zealand$$y20th century$$vInterviews. 001396408 651_0 $$aNew Zealand$$xIntellectual life$$y20th century. 001396408 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001396408 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aRichardson, Len.$$tPeople and place : the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island in history and literature.$$dActon, Australian Capital Territory : Australian National University Press, c2020 $$z9781760463441 $$w(DLC) 2020447117 001396408 830_0 $$aANU.Lives series in biography. 001396408 852__ $$bebk 001396408 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=6229004$$zOnline Access 001396408 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1396408$$pGLOBAL_SET 001396408 980__ $$aBIB 001396408 980__ $$aEBOOK 001396408 982__ $$aEbook 001396408 983__ $$aOnline
