Abstract | This paper examines the work of one of New Zealand's most acclaimed writers, Maurice Gee, and the use of his children's fiction as an experimental ground for postmodernist techniques further developed in his writing for adults. In particular, it considers Gee's borrowings of his own and others' non-fictional and fictional material, to produce richly literary, historical novels. The paper argues that realist and postmodernist features are woven into the children's and adult books, but that the balance is differently skewed in each. It thus addresses an area largely atypical of the children's novel, but one that should be of concern to children's literature critics. (As Provided). |
