The New Zealand-born writer Katherine Mansfield associated
intimately with many members of the Bloomsbury group, but her
literary aesthetics placed her at a distance from the artistic
works of the group. With chapters written by leading international
scholars, Katherine Mansfield and the Bloomsbury Group explores
this conflicted relationship. Bringing together biographical and
critical studies, the book examines Mansfield's relationships -
personal and literary - with such major Modernist figures as
Virginia Woolf, T.S. Eliot, Aldous Huxley and Walter de la Mare as
well as the ways in which her work engaged with and reacted against
Bloomsbury. In this way the book reveals the true extent of
Mansfield's wider influence on 20th-century modernist writing.
Through her formally innovative and psychologically insightful
short stories, Katherine Mansfield is increasingly recognised as
one of the central figures in early 20th-century modernism.
Bringing together leading and emerging scholars and covering her
complete body of work, this is the most comprehensive volume to
Mansfield scholarship available today. The Bloomsbury Handbook to
Katherine Mansfield covers the full range of contemporary scholarly
themes and approaches to the author's work, including: * New
biographical insights, including into the early New Zealand years *
Responses to the historical crises: the Great War, empire and
orientalism * Mansfield's fiction, poetry, criticism and private
writing * Mansfield and modernist culture - from Bloomsbury to the
little magazines * Mansfield and her contemporaries - Woolf,
Lawrence and von Arnim * Mansfield and the arts - visual culture,
cinema and music The book also includes a substantial annotated
bibliography of key works of Mansfield scholarship from the last 30
years.
