WILSON Phillip  The Maorilander A Study of William Satchell
VG VG $15 C/B W&T 1961 first edition cloth 163pp + plates. Though William Satchell was the first New Zealand novelist to write fiction of enduring quality, little has been known hitherto about his life. Drawing upon unpublished letters, family papers and other original sources, the present study spans Satchell's whole career - the picturesque youthful years in England and Germany; the ups and downs of his experiences as poet and publisher in London; the reasons for his emigration and his difficulties as a pioneer settler in Hokianga; the later years in Auckland where he wrote his novels and worked as journalist, share-broker and accountant; and the long - delayed fame which came with the reprinting in 1935 of The Greenstone Door. As well as presenting the facts of Satchell's life, The Maorilander analyses in detail his four major novels. It also sheds a good deal of light on Satchell's ideas of art and society, which he expresses directly in his letters and more indirectly in his fiction. But perhaps its greatest value lies in its revelation of a deeply passionate man whose outward life was misleadingly quiet. With his insight into moral and religious hypocrisy, his dramatic presentation of the dubious relations between British settlers and Maoris in the 1890s, and in his plea for better racial understanding and tolerance, Satchell saw clearly some of the crucial problems which still face New Zealanders today.
