    About this ebook

    'Katherine Mansfield, The Woman Behind The Books (Including Letters, Journals, Essays & Articles)' offers a rare and comprehensive glimpse into the multifaceted literary life of one of the early 20th century's most enigmatic writers. Co-edited by John Middleton Murry, Mansfield's literary executor and spouse, this anthology interlaces personal correspondence, reflective journals, incisive essays, and pointed articles, each piece shimmering with her experimental narrative techniques and a forward-facing modernist style that challenged the literary norms of her time. This collection stands out for its intimate exploration of Mansfield's internal and external landscapes, providing invaluable insights into the socio-cultural tensions and artistic fervor of her era. The anthology draws from a period marked by poignant introspection and revolutionary expressions in literature. Mansfield's own prolific contributions, coupled with Murry's editorial insights, encapsulate the spirit of a writer deeply engaged with the existential complexities of her time. Collectively, their works delineate a map of early modernist impulses, shedding light on personal battles with societal expectations, gender roles, and the search for literary authenticity. This collection is crucial for both admirers of Mansfield and scholars of modernist literature. Readers are afforded the unique opportunity to peruse her life's works comprehensively, gaining a holistic appreciation of her as a person and an artist. Through her vivid writings and Murry's complementary interpretations, this anthology not only educates but also mesmerizes, inviting a deep engagement with Mansfield's literary journey and the enduring questions it raises about human experience and creative expression.

    Author

    Katherine Mansfield

    Katherine Mansfield was a popular New Zealand short-story writer best known for the stories "The Woman at the Shore," "How Pearl Button Was Kidnapped," "The Doll’s House," and her twelve-part short story "Prelude," which was inspired by her happy childhood. Although Mansfield initially had her sights set on becoming a professional cellist, her role as editor of the Queen’s College newspaper prompted a change to writing. Mansfield’s style of writing revolutionized the form of the short story at the time, in that it depicted ordinary life and left the endings open to interpretation, while also raising uncomfortable questions about society and identity. Mansfield died in 1923 after struggling for many years with tuberculosis.
