The third volume of the Collected Letters of Katherine Mansfield
covers the eight months she spent in Italy and the South of France
between the English summers of 1919 and 1920. It was a time of
intense personal reassessment and distress. Mansfield's
relationship with her husband John Middleton Murry was bitterly
tested, and most of the letters in this present volume chart that
rich and enduring partner'ship through its severest trial. This was
a time, too, when Mansfield came to terms with the closing off of
possibilities that her illness entailed. Without flamboyance or
fuss, she felt it necessary to discard earlier loyalties and even
friendships, as she sought for a spiritual standpoint that might
turn her illness to less negative ends. As she put it, 'One must be
... continually giving & receiving, and shedding &
renewing, & examining & trying to place'. For all the
grimness of this period of her life, Mansfield's letters still
offer the joie de vivre and wit, self-perception and lively
frankness that make her correspondence such rewarding reading - an
invaluable record of a `modern' woman and her time.
