Mason as essentially a sensitive modern romantic at odds with the New Zealand where he spent his life from 1905-1971, and with, in a larger sense, not only man but also the universe itself. Concentrating on this side of his sensibility, the author has rather tended to ignore Mason's technique, and in the present essay he wishes to redress the balance somewhat by examining the kind of ironic devices Mason uses, and to what effect he puts them. 1982-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2328/25676 Title: Violence in the stories of Frank Sargeson Authors: Daalder, Joost Abstract: 'The stories of Frank Sargeson' contains the bulk of the short fiction produced by New Zealand's foremost writer.

No. 1 of "Three readings of Sargeson's 'The Hole That Jack Dug'" Authors: Daalder, Joost Abstract: The author suggests that one reason for accepting Frank Sargeson's stories as realistic is that there have been no close analyses of any of them. In discussing "The hole that Jack dug" the author aims to show that such a mature Sargeson story is indeed romantic, as well as to throw light on the way it is put together. 1986-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2328/25655 Title: R.A.K. Mason: The Poet as a Pacific Christ Authors: Daalder, Joost Abstract: The vast majority of Mason's poems derive their individual character not only from his use of language, but also, and above all, from his perceiving of himself as a Christ in New Zealand, ignored and victimised by a society consisting of Pharisees. 1981-01-01T00:00:00Z
