New Texts from the NZETC

The NZETC is pleased to announce the addition of forty-one new texts to the online collection:

• A significant expansion of the 19th century New Zealand novels collection which now contains fifty-eight volumes. The twenty new titles released today include the very first novel to be set in New Zealand, the 1778 "The Travels of Hildebrand Bowman" and Jane Stafford and Mark Williams's 2006 literary and cultural history "Maoriland: New Zealand Literature, 1872-1914". The full collection of 19th century New Zealand novels and associated scholarly works is listed here in chronological order. The texts are of course fully searchable and can also be downloaded as both a PDF of page images or a Microsoft Reader eBook. We plan to add another twenty novels to this collection before the end of the year.
  

• The Ancient History of the Maori, volumes VII to vol. XIII by John White. As with the first six volumes launched in December 2007, this online publication builds on previous work by University of Waikato Library.
