Abstract
Whereas the Man Alone theme in New Zealand literature has generally been seen as the expression of a heroic model of masculinity, this essay argues that it arose from identity‐threatening anxiety induced in men by an encounter with circumstances that negated the security imparted by the subjectification deriving from their originary culture. Writers discussed include Samuel Butler John Mulgan, Maurice Gee, Keri Hulme, and Lloyd Jones.
