Dr Felicity Barnes teaches History at The University of Auckland. She won that University's award for Best Doctoral Dissertation for the thesis on which New Zealand's London draws and her research was supported by the Research Grants Committee, a Doctoral Scholarship and the Eric & Myra McCormick Scholarship in History. She has assisted historian Caroline Daley with presenting history programmes for Radio NZ. New Zealand's London will be her first book.
"Barnes's [book] demonstrates the power of a well-worked doctoral
thesis, clear and jargon-free, turned into a solidly illustrated
model of historical cultural analysis." --New Zealand Listener
"It's a considerably reworked version of an award-winning PhD
thesis. Fortunately, it does not read like one and with a large
gallery of interesting and sometimes quirky images, it should
appeal to general as well as specialist readers." --Otago Daily
