Volume 3 of the new authoritative edition of Katherine Mansfield's
complete correspondence Provides accurate transcriptions that shed
new light on the everyday, intimate world of Mansfield as a
letter-writer Presents all Mansfield's letters to John Middleton
Murry from 1912 to 1918, foregrounding their years of intellectual
apprenticeship and the impact of war, political upheavals and
ill-health on their social and cultural environment Provides
meticulous explanatory notes and rich contextual information Offers
extensive attention to the cultural and socio-political context of
the correspondence Unlike the first two volumes of this new edition
of Katherine Mansfield's letters, which encompassed a dazzling
variety of correspondents, this third volume focuses exclusively on
letters to John Middleton Murry, chronologically arranged, from the
day when he first became her lodger in 1912 through to the week
after the Armistice in November 1918, when they were newly married.
It is no exaggeration to say that over the course of these six
years, their entire world was turned upside down. By the time the
volume closes, they are married but already increasingly estranged;
they have both become professional writers but grapple with
increasing economic precarity; Europe lies ravaged by war; and the
devastating diagnosis of tuberculosis has been pronounced, not,
ironically, for Murry whose fragile health had preoccupied them for
two years, but for Mansfield herself. This volume of letters
documents the whole spectrum of changes, against a vivid historical
and socio-cultural backcloth and contains entirely new, insightful
and extensive annotations. A second volume of letters between the
pair completes the edition.
