E.E.M. Montgomery. Hinemoa: a poem. Illustrations by George Sherriff. Wanganui: A.D. Willis, 1887.
Little is known about the life of Eleanor Elizabeth M. Montgomery, one of New Zealand’s earliest published women writers of poetry and drama.
Her five volumes were all published in Wanganui and electoral rolls show that her family were farmers in the Wanganui region. Active from the mid-1880s to mid-1890s, The Oxford Companion to New Zealand Literature describes her as a poet “in an antipodean-Tennysonian ‘songs of a Southern Isle’ mode.”
