Reconfiguring the national canon: The Edinburgh edition of the Collected Works of Katherine Mansfield
No full textThis paper looks at how the new two volume edition of the Collected Works of Katherine Mansfield, edited by Gerri Kimber and Vincent O'Sullivan, helps us to reassess the creativity of Katherine Mansfield. Gerri Kimber and Janet Wilson’s essay on the four-volume Edinburgh Edition of the Collected Works of Katherine Mansfield makes clear how in recent years Mansfield has been ‘brought home’ to New Zealand by way of establishing her reputation as a writer of world significance. Those mid twentieth-century years of cultural nationalism, when Frank Sargeson could write that ‘Mansfield imposed this feminine thing on New Zealand’, and Allen Curnow in the Introduction to his milestone Penguin Book of New Zealand Verse could suggest that Mansfield has ‘something like shame for her country’, have long gone. Mansfield has been (re)instated as the country’s foremost writer; her proto-feminism is seen as one of her many qualities, and her in-between location as both a New Zealand writer and an Anglo-European modernist as a defining strength. Mansfield was a diasporic writer; so too for a number of years was Janet Frame. Both Mansfield and Frame are the most innovative and experimental writers New Zealand has produced. And both, of course, were women. The relation between these elements common to both writers, and their significance for New Zealand literary history, is something that still remains to be fully explored
Kezia's stories : a reading of four tales by Katherine Mansfield
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Comunicação e ExpressãoA conclusão mostra que as histórias de Kesia são na verdade, uma importante amostra da obra de Katherine Mansfield. Além de servir a escritora como catarse, aliviando-lhe o peito de emoções longamente escondidas e, quem sabe, de um certo remorso, as estórias em si - por sua riqueza de recursos literários - elevaram grandemente o valor da produção da escritora. Para o leitor, por seu turno, como rico banquete de finas e raras iguarias, a leitura destes quatro contos de Katherine Mansfield proporciona momentos de grande prazer
"Divine warnings" : Katherine Mansfield
No full textIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 85-87).On her death in January 1923, Katherine Mansfield bequeathed a body of work - both fictional and critical-sufficient to fill several volumes. Although she was not of English origin, she nevertheless counted many celebrated figures of the era as her consorts. Why then, does she remain peripheral to the canon? This dissertation probes the problem of Mansfield's reputation, examining the reasons that she remained (and remains) insufficiently recognised for her contribution to modernist literature. It further proposes that Mansfield's writing displays many of the hallmarks of modernism for which her peers - whose writing succeeded hers by several years - would later become famous

Art and society: a consideration of the relations between aesthetic theories and social commitment with reference to Katherine Mansfield and Oscar Wilde
No full textPhDThe chief purpose of this project is to discuss Katherine Mansfield's
aesthetic ideas in connection with those of Oscar Wilde and fin de siècle Aestheticism.
The proposed study will also analyse her Modernist technique in Symbolist terms, and
consider her major themes from aesthetic and political points of view.
The primary, underlying concern of this study is to negotiate two, often opposing
critical values: the aesthetic and the political. The artist's negotiation of the conflict
between aesthetics (art) and politics (society) is a controversial 'modern' critical issue: the
issue all serious artists and critics have been facing and consciously dealing with since
the late nineteenth century. Fin de siècle Aestheticism and Symbolism form a dominant
stream of Modernism because of this intensified shared concern over the delicate
relationship between art, life and society.
Wilde's stress on the autonomy of art is related to his notion of an ideal relationship
between art, life and society: he shows a keen awareness that the autonomy of art and
the aesthetic self-realization of the artist could be realized only in a society without any
social, cultural or moral hegemony, that is, in a society without moral, social or political
oppression. The Wildean 'poeticization' of society lies in his politicization of art; and this
aesthetic influences Mansfield's.
French Symbolism suggested to Wilde and Mansfield an aesthetic which enabled
them to realize their Aestheticism. Wildean and Mansfieldian Symbolism attempt to
'shock' the reader: they aim at breaking the reader's reading habit, and his or her
stereotypic point of view and fixed sense of values. Here lie not only the political
potential of Symbolism as a Modernist aesthetic but also the aesthetic and political link
between their Symbolism and avant-garde Modernism
