Abstract

James Francis Courage (1903-63) is a largely neglected New Zealand-born expatriate writer who achieved some commercial and critical success in New Zealand, the U.K. and the U.S. with novels and short stories published in the last third of his life. While Courage lived and published mostly in England, he corresponded with a number of New Zealand writers of the time, including Frank Sargeson and Charles Brasch, and set most of his fiction in early-twentieth-century Canterbury. Five out of his eight published novels, for instance, were set there.
