This study investigates how Janet Frame weaves together literary sources from her extensive reading to create a web of intertextual relationships. Patricia Neville traces Frames passion for books beginning with her childhood and earliest published work in the Otago Daily Times. Drawing on new research and through close readings of Frames novels, she discusses the effects of Frames borrowings from the Bible and Shakespeare and from writing from New Zealand, Britain, France, and the USA. A fascinating read not only for scholars, but for all admirers of Janet Frames fiction.

Patricia Neville, PhD, read English Literature for her first degree at London University, Goldsmiths College, and then became a teacher of English in secondary and adult education. She first encountered Frames novels while on a holiday in New Zealand and was inspired to embark on her own study of Frames reading patterns and literary borrowings. Her doctoral study on Frames novels for the Open University took her back to New Zealand for archival research. This book is the outcome of her explorations, scrutinies, and analyses.
