Scholarly editions of 19th Century Novels

The NZETC is proud to highlight the work of ENGL489 students from Victoria University of Wellington who have been working with works in our 19th Century novels collection over the past two years. The students have researched a novel of their choice and created a scholarly edition complete with editorial glossing through footnotes, bibliographies and relevant contemporary resources. These editions contribute to the understanding of little known authors and works.

The editorial editions are as follows:

• Sara Berger's edition of The Bird of Paradise by William Henry Dutton
• Anne Brown's edition of A Strange Friendship: A Story of New Zealand by Charlotte Evans
• Anne Brown's edition of Over The Hills, and Far Away: A Story of New Zealand by Charlotte Evans
• Vicky Hughes' edition of Utu: A Story of Love, Hate and Revenge by Margaret Bullock
• David Weir's edition of The Angel Isafrel: A Story of Prohibition in New Zealand by George McCullagh Reed
