Product Description
Book Description
Janet Frame's work is notorious for the demands it makes on reader and critic. This collection of nine new essays by international Frame specialists draws on a range of critical frameworks to explore fresh ways of looking at Frame's fiction, poetry, and autobiography. At the same time, the essays plug into the energy of Frame's work to challenge our thinking within and beyond these frameworks. Frameworks offers a unique perspective on Frame studies today, showcasing its major concerns as well as heralding new Frame narratives for the decade ahead. Mindful of preceding Frame criticism, these essays use their contemporary vantage-point to recast seminal questions about the relationship between Janet Frame's work and its critical contexts. Each of the essays makes a case for framing her work in a particular way, but all are characterized by self-reflexivity regarding their own critical practice and the relationship they assume between exegetical framework and Frame's work. Underlying this practice, and contained within the pun of the title, are the elementary-sounding yet fundamental questions of Frame studies: How does Frame's work work? And how do we work with her work?

Expensive & Inessential, April 1 2010
By ExPat "ExPat" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Frameworks: Contemporary Criticism on Janet Frame (Hardcover)
This most recent collection of academic essays on NZ writer Janet Frame is outrageously overpriced, particularly considering the paltry number of contributions. A far better resource and value is the 1993 collection edited by Jeanne Delbaere, with more than twice the number of contributions as well as an expansive bibliography.

A Honest Record, July 21 2011
By The Rat - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Frameworks: Contemporary Criticism on Janet Frame (Hardcover)
Frameworks of course is not an easy read but some of the articles in the collection are groundbreaking and all of them are, as Daria Tunca says, "thought provoking"; "a fact rare enough to be underscored".For Tunca's review, see Journal of Postcolonial Writing 47.3 (July 2011), pp. 362-363.
