Description

From A Room of Their Own: A Celebration of the Katherine Mansfield Fellowship. Selected and Introduced by Michael Gifkins. Paintings by Peter Featherstone. "Writing in 1977, the late Celia Manson (whose energies were the guiding force in the early years of the Fellowship which originally bore her name: the Winn-Manson Menton Trust) confirmed the chief purpose of what was then, and still is today, New Zealand's only overseas literary bursary of any consequence: 'It aims to give a selected New Zealand writer a period of leisure to write or study, to expose them to a different and more ancient culture, and thereby to allow them to see their own remote country in better perspective. 'It aims to help international relations by the fact of enabling a New Zealand writer to work each year in France. 'It aims by the same means to improve Mew Zealand's cultural image overseas.' - From the Introduction by Michael Gifkins. This book has selected works from each of the Katherine Mansfield Fellows starting with the 1970 recipient Owen Leeming, 1971 Margaret Scott, 1972 C. K. Stead, 1973 James McNeish, 1974 Janet frame, 1975 David Mitchell, 1976 Michael King, 1977 Barry Mitcalfe, 1978 Spiro Zavos, 1979 Philip Temple, 1980 Marilyn Duckworth, 1981 Lauris Edmond, 1982 Michael Jackson, 1983 Allen Curnow, 1984 Rowley Habib, 1985 Michael Gifkins, 1986 Michael Harlow, 1987 Russell Haley, 1988 Louis Johnson, 1989 Lloyd Jones, 1990 Lisa Greenwood, 1991 Nigel Cox, 1992 Maurice Gee, 1993 Witi Ihimaera.
