John Schroder was one of the most influential figures of the Christchurch literary scene in the 1930's. As literary editor of The Press, he assembled a Saturday literary page that featured many of the names that were to prove significant to New Zealand literature in the years that followed, among them Ngaio Marsh and Robin Hyde. One of Schroder's goals as compiler of the page was to actively encourage emerging writers, and one way in which he facilitated this process was through reviewing recent publications. It was in this capacity as reviewer that he first encountered the work of little-known Christchurch poet Ursula Bethell, at that time writing under the pseudonym of Evelyn Hayes.
