摘要:Women’s autobiography theorist Valerie Baisnee’s new book, Through the long corridor of distance: Space and Self in Contemporary New Zealand Women’s Autobiographies, examines, in a new light, concepts of place and space in autobiographies written by New Zealand women writers including Sylvia Ashton-Warner, Janet Frame, Laurie Edmond, Fiona Kidman, Barbara Anderson and Ruth Park. These autobiographies range in publication from the early 1970s to the twenty-first century, which reflects the emergence of a renewed interest in autobiographical theory and the changes in self-awareness for New Zealand women that occurred during this time.
