This retrospective study examines short fiction in the context of stylistic tradition in New Zealand’s literary history. By exploring the extent to which the major exponents of twentieth-century short fiction extend the traditions of realism and impressionism as initiated by Katherine Mansfield and Frank Sargeson, this study embraces the stylistic diversity of twentieth-century New Zealand short fiction in both Pakeha and Maori traditions.

”Written with flair and clarity, Joel Gwynne’s book makes an important contribution to scholarship on the New Zealand short story by revealing the limitations of the polarised critical categories that have been used in the past. It constitutes the most substantial extended consideration to date of New Zealand short fiction, and, by offering fresh and nuanced readings of the stories of five major writers, should prove an invaluable resource for scholars and students alike.” - Alistair Fox, Professor of English, University of Otago
