In terms of the internationally recognised canon of literature in English, Samuel Butler’s Erewhon (1872) is the most important work to emerge from New Zealand. It has been continuously in print since 1872, is included in almost all series of literary classics, is widely taught in universities, and receives international scholarly attention. It is accepted as a major work of Victorian prose, a key indicator of changing values, and as standing with More’s Utopia and Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels as the three outstanding examples of the genre of imagined world irony.
