Author: EDITED BY WILLIAM FREEMAN
Title: Zealandia. A Monthly Magazine Of New Zealand Literature, By New Zealand Authors Volume I. (all published)
Description: Dunedin, J. Wilkie. 1890, First Edition. Hardcover, 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Book, 730 pages, numbers 1-12 of volume one published between July 1889 and June 1890. Spine worn. Formed in 1889, Zealandia aimed to publish primarily New Zealand content. The monthly magazine promised that readers would be spared the 'stale extracts' from British periodicals that had filled previous local magazines. Its writers included politician William Pember Reeves, poet Thomas Bracken and feminist Edith Searle. Reviews of New Zealand books and critical feedback to New Zealand authors were leading features, but there was some concession to popular taste in the form of girls', boys' and women's pages, the last giving advice on matters of interest to women and such subjects as art furnishing (interior decoration). Zealandia lasted for 12 issues. Good.
