Poetry of the New Zealanders is a book that features a collection of poems, traditions, and chaunts of the Maori people. It was written by George Grey and originally published in 1858. The book is written in both English and Maori, with the Maori text presented in the original language and the English translation provided alongside it. The collection includes a wide range of traditional Maori poetry, covering topics such as love, war, nature, and mythology. The poems are accompanied by detailed explanations of their cultural and historical significance, providing readers with a deeper understanding of Maori culture and tradition. In addition to the poetry, the book also includes descriptions of Maori customs and rituals, such as the haka dance and the art of tattooing. Grey, who was a governor of New Zealand at the time of writing, was known for his interest in Maori culture and language, and this book is considered a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of Maori history and literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
