Exonian honoured for services to literature

It was announced in the New Zealand New Year Honours List for 2011 that Her Majesty the Queen was pleased to appoint Keith Maslan (1950, English) as an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for ‘services to literature and bibliography’. Dr Maslen reports that he began his scholarly life of publication while still at Exeter with an article published in The Library called ‘The Printers of Robinson Crusoe‘.

This New Zealand honour at Officer rank (ONZM) is equivalent to the OBE. Congratulations to Dr Maslen on this honour.
