Auteur: Patricia Neville

Patricia Neville, Ph D, read English Literature for her first degree at London University, Goldsmiths’ College, and then became a teacher of English in secondary and adult education. She first encountered Frame’s novels while on a holiday in New Zealand and was inspired to embark on her own study of Frame’s reading patterns and literary borrowings. Her doctoral study on Frame’s novels for the Open University took her back to New Zealand for archival research. This book is the outcome of her explorations, scrutinies, and analyses.
