Manuscripts, knitting patterns and a tractor manual - the Centenary of Janet Frame
Manage episode 439133274 series 5439
The great Janet Frame was born a century ago – a rare talent, a unique literary force. Writing saved her, she became a great figure in New Zealand and beyond but it was a film that made Frame famous - Jane Campion’s 1990 An Angel at My Table, based on Frame's autobiography.
In the 1970s Janet Frame dropped off some of her literary drafts and a sealed suitcase of papers for safekeeping to the University of Otago in New Zealand. That was the start of a collection that's now expanded and been turned into a special exhibition to mark the writer’s centenary.
Guests:
Anna Blackman - Head Curator Archives at the Hocken Collection, University of Otago
Kirstie Ross - Head curator published and special collections at the Hocken Collection, University of Otago Library.
