Katherine Mansfield: The Woman and the WriterKatherine Mansfield was not only an extraordinary writer, devoted to her work, she was also a woman of great vivacity and strength, who led a brief but interesting life, from her birth in New Zealand to the literary circles of England and Europe. The leading writers of her age, people like Virginia Woolf and D. H. Lawrence were a constant part of her life. Gillian Boddy has drawn on her years of research to introduce us to a new Katherine Mansfield, not ethereal as has been the myth, but substantial, alive. She has incorporated rarely seen photographs and some unpublished material to present this readable account. -- From publisher's description. |
