| Summary: | These are Katherine Mansfield's non-fiction collected in one volume for the first time. Just as Mansfield scholars had been frequently frustrated by the lack of a complete edition of her fiction prior to the Kimber/O'Sullivan two volume edition of 2012, the same can be said of Katherine Mansfield's non-fiction. Her book reviews were collected - and subjectively edited - in a small volume edited by J. Middleton Murry in 1930 and subsequently re-edited by Clare Hanson, together with some essays, in The Critical Writings of Katherine Mansfield in 1987. Both are incomplete and now long out of print. Vincent O'Sullivan's excellent selection of her Poems in 1988, nevertheless omitted many pieces, and 25 years on, in the light of new scholarship on Mansfield's life, the poems demand a new edition. In addition, many of Mansfield's translations from the Russian are almost unknown and were never previously collected. The volume also contains material never seen before, including several new poems, a new and complete creative 'impression' from 1911, a newly collected and transcribed translation of Stanislaw Wyspianski's play The Judges, and never-before published translations of Chekhov, Tolstoy and Dostoevsky. This volume of Mansfield's poetry and critical writing comprises: Book reviews (not collected since 1987 and incomplete); Poetry (not collected since 1988 and incomplete); Translations (not previously collected); Essays (not collected since 1987 and incomplete); Parodies (not previously collected); and, Pastiches (not previously collected). Much of the material has been out of print for decades. It is fully annotated. Some of the material has never been collected or seen before. |
