The Settler¿s Plot is a fresh and engaging study of the relationship between literature and place in New Zealand. Drawing on an engrossing selection of documentary and literary sources, from F E Maning and Herbert Guthrie-Smith to Mansfield, Sargeson, Curnow and Frame, Alex Calder explores the places our writers have turned to most often: the beach, the farm, the bush, the suburb and 'overseas¿. He connects the history of Pa-keha- settlement to the way stories take shape in these settings through fascinating and unpredictable readings of some of our greatest works of literature.
