Abstract

Just after World War Two, when French existentialism was all the rage in Europe and North America, New Zealanders in New Zealand had relatively little opportunity to learn about existentialism or to read contemporary existentialist literature. While the following is by no means an exhaustive account of the books and magazine articles concerning existentialist ideas available in New Zealand during and after World War Two, it will nonetheless suggest that existentialist ideas evoked considerable popular interest in this country – particularly among the younger generation.
