Roots Uncovered

1s STEVENS’S lively and infor- ~ mative account of early New Zealand novels lets in a little more light on the past and discovers a few more of our roots. Neither sentimentally kind to pioneer efforts, nor harshly derisive, Miss Stevens deals out praise and criticism with an impartial hand, at the same time giving her listeners an opportunity of sharing her attitudes by liberal accounts of plots, and quotations. These talks, heard from 4YC, have been interesting and amusing; but the laughter they give rise to is not conceited, but sympathetic, since in Miss Stevens’s treatment our early writers and their aspirations and problems have 1 pices real to us before we have read more than a fraction of their work.
