Conclusion. 330 1 $aThis book traces the enduring relationship between history, people and place that has shaped the character of a single region in a manner perhaps unique within the New Zealand experience. It explores the evolution of a distinctive regional literature that both shaped and was shaped by the physical and historical environment that inspired it. Looking westwards towards Australia and long shut off within New Zealand by the South Island's rugged Southern Alps, the West Coast was a land of gold, coal and timber. In the 1950s and 1960s, it nurtured a literature that embodied a sense of belonging to an Australasian world and captured the aspirations of New Zealand's emergent radical nationalism. More recent West Coast writers, observing the hollowing out of their communities, saw in miniature and in advance the growing gulf between city and regional economies aligned to an older economic order losing its relevance. Were they chronicling the last hurrah of a retreating age or crafting a literature of regional resistance? 410 0$aANU.Lives series in biography. 606 $aNew Zealand literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAuthors, New Zealand$y20th century$vInterviews 607 $aNew Zealand$xIntellectual life$y20th century 607 $aNew Zealand$2fast 610 $aNew Zealand 610 $aPhilip May 610 $aPatrick O'Farrell 610 $aBill Pearson 610 $awest coast of New Zealand 610 $aNew Zealand South Island 610 $a1960s 610 $aliterature 610 $anational history 615 0$aNew Zealand literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAuthors, New Zealand 676 $a820.99371 700 $aRichardson$b Len$0951479 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910403769203321 996 $aPeople and place$92151052 997 $aUNINA
