520 |a An account of the life of the gifted, beautiful, but strangely secretive writer provides a glimpse of the competitive London literary scene between 1908 and 1923 and of such literary figures as D.H. Lawrence and VIrginia Woolf. This is a highly readable portrait of the writer whose life and work figure so insistently as a sort of shadow accompaniment to the larger achievements of Lawrence and Woolf. Benefiting from previous Mansfield scholarship, Tomalin looks closely into Mansfields's medical history, finding what she believes to be a crucial exposure to gonorrhea in 1909 as the forerunner and probable cause of the various debilitating ailments that led to her death 13 years later. Without attempting a definitive literary evaluation or biography, Tomalin focuses sharply and sympathetically on the specific personality that defines both the life and the workbrave, bold, secretive, fearful, quixotically volatile, and ultimately possessed by an almost perverse integrity.
