Explores Katherine Mansfield's engagement in the periodical culture
of the early twentieth century This book considers Mansfield's
ambivalent position as a colonial woman writer by examining her
contributions to the political weekly The New Age, the avant-garde
little magazine Rhythm and the literary journal The Athenaeum.
Contextualising Mansfield's work against the editorial strategies
and professional cultures of each periodical, the book deepens and
complicates older critical assumptions about the trajectory of
Mansfield's development as a writer. Key Features Provides the
first sustained scholarly examination of Mansfield's engagement
with and relation to early twentieth-century periodical culture
Foregrounds the original material contexts in which Mansfield
produced the majority of her work, emphasising a dialogic or
'conversational' model for modernism Interrogates Mansfield's
ambivalent self-positioning within English literary circles as a
'colonial-metropolitan modernist' and 'outsider' Integrates ideas
of the recent 'transnational turn' across literary studies into the
field of periodical scholarship
