Presents cutting-edge criticism on the theme of Katherine Mansfield
and childrenWhat Virginia Woolf called 'Childlikeness' is a facet
of Mansfield's personality which permeates every aspect of her
personal and creative life. It is present in her mature fiction,
where some of her most well-known and accomplished stories, such as
'Prelude' and 'At the Bay', have children as protagonists. It is
present in her early poetry, which includes a collection of poems
for children intended for publication and it is also present in her
juvenilia, where many of the stories she wrote from an early age
for school magazines and other publications, feature children. Even
as an adult, Mansfield's love of the miniature, her delight in
children in general, her fascination with dolls, all feature in her
personal writing. Her relationship with John Middleton Murry was
characterised by their mutual descriptions of themselves as little
children fighting against a corrupt world. Including a newly
discovered short story potentially by Mansfield, with an
explanatory essay, this volume engages each of these aspects of the
child in Mansfield's work and life.
