This book illustrates the contribution made to New Zealand letters
by its oldest and most prestigious literary fellowship the Burns
Fellowship. The anthology, by turns playful and serious, celebrates
the Fellowship's golden jubilee. Beginning with novelist Ian Cross
in 1959 and ending with the 2008 Burns Fellow, poet Sue Wootton,
Nurse to the Imagination showcases the output of leading New
Zealand literary figures, such as James K. Baxter, Michael King,
and Janet Frame, alongside newer voices, with pieces written at the
time of the Fellow's tenure. The book exhibits many interesting
trends, of which the shift from male-dominated literature up to
1980, to the rich representation of women writers since then, is
just one. With photographic illustrations, Nurse to the Imagination
offers a glimpse of five decades worth of New Zealand writers and
their imaginative works.
