ABOUT
The primary scholarly text documenting the famous Australian writer Henry Lawson's turbulent tenure in New Zealand.
The book investigates Henry Lawson’s brief and difficult period in 1897 serving as a teacher at the Native School in Mangamaunu, a small Māori community just north of Kaikoura. Lawson arrived in New Zealand seeking an idyllic escape to reset his life, but his time in the isolated settlement quickly degraded into disillusionment.
Pearson uses this historical episode to evaluate the deep cultural misunderstandings between Lawson—who carried rigid contemporary Australian bush traditions and prejudices—and the local Ngai Tahu community.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images and maps.
