- Description
- Janet Fram's literary career was woven into the fabric of the twentieth-century New Zealand literary scene. She became New Zealand's best known international writer and this study seeks to redress the excessive commitment in scholarship to maintaining Frame's reputation as a psychologically disturbed writer. The book surveys aspects of Janet Frame's biographical legend by considering her later literary and autobiographical works, Jane Campion's film adaptation of the autobiographies, An Angel at my Table, as well as biographies and literary histories that both rely on and contribute to her well-known legend.
