Jealousies: Mansfield in Mansfield, and the poetry of C.K. Stead
No full textThis paper will consider the character of Katherine Mansfield as portrayed in the novel Mansfield by C.K. Stead (2004), together with the influence of Mansfield on Stead’s poetry. In 1972, Stead was the third recipient of the Katherine Mansfield Memorial Fellowship at Menton, which enabled him to spend eight months in the South of France, working at the Villa Isola Bella, once the home of Katherine Mansfield. During this visit, Stead took the opportunity of re-reading all the Mansfield primary texts published at that time, which led directly to the publication some years later of his Letters and Journals of Katherine Mansfield: A Selection (1977). This immersion in ‘all things Mansfield’ initiated Stead’s fascination with the author, which remains undiminished.
Stead set his novel Mansfield during three years from 1915-1918, a fascinating period in Mansfield’s life when she found her true voice as an author, was still in “reasonably good health”, and which was, as he points out, “the time of her most intense engagement with an extraordinary cast of characters on the English literary scene”. It was also the period of the Great War, which would profoundly affect and influence the lives of Mansfield and her contemporaries. Although technically a work of fiction, since imagination and guess work both, inevitably, play a part, nevertheless Stead’s comprehensive knowledge of Mansfield’s life and literary output, together with his uncanny ability to recreate his characters’ points of view, results in a fascinating novel which has a ring of ‘truth’ about it. The paper will also consider various poems by Stead, including ‘Jealousy 1’ and ‘Jealousy 2’, based on episodes in Mansfield’s life, together with a new poem ‘Isola Bella’, which Stead has written especially for this conferenc
Risking the Personal: Academic Friendship, Feminist Role Models and Katherine Mansfield
No full textThis article celebrates friendship as a valid starting point for scholarly enquiry and uses conversation as a valuable methodology. While completing their doctoral research on modernist short stories and women’s art collectives, co-authors Rydstrand and Mayhew discovered New Zealand author Katherine Mansfield was a contact point between their respective projects. Around 1981, Harridan Screenprinters quoted Mansfield’s injunction to ‘Risk anything’ on a poster, invoking Mansfield as a role model—as a leading modernist author and as a risk-taker. Mayhew later gave Rydstrand a copy of the poster as a thesis submission gift. This article explores interrelations between personal, creative and professional risks, from Mansfield’s avant-garde milieu of the early twentieth century, to the dynamic scene of second-wave feminism in Australia, and finally to the precarious world of the twenty-first century academy, all brought together by the physical artefact of the Mansfield poster. In this threefold engagement, we counter the presumed masculinity of experiment and champion feminine forms of risk.No Full Tex

‘To Hell with the Blooms Berries’: Katherine Mansfield in Mansfield and the poetry of C.K. Stead
No full textThis paper will consider the character of Katherine Mansfield as portrayed in the novel Mansfield by C.K. Stead (2004), together with her influence on Stead’s poetry. In 1972, Stead was the third recipient of the Katherine Mansfield Memorial Fellowship at Menton, which enabled him to spend eight months in the South of France, working at the Villa Isola Bella, once the home of Mansfield. During this visit, Stead took the opportunity of re-reading all of the Mansfield primary texts published at that time, which led directly to the publication some years later of his Letters and Journals of Katherine Mansfield: A Selection (1977). This immersion in ‘all things Mansfield’ initiated Stead’s fascination with KM, which would ultimately lead to the writing of Mansfield.
Stead set Mansfield during three years from 1915-1918, a fascinating period in Mansfield’s life when she found her true voice as an author, was still in “reasonably good health”, and which was, as he points out, was “the time of her most intense engagement with an extraordinary cast of characters on the English literary scene”, including the Lawrences and the Bloomsbury group. It was also the period of the Great War, which would profoundly affect and influence the lives of Mansfield and her contemporaries.
The paper will also consider two poems by Stead, ‘Jealousy 1’ and ‘Jealousy 2’, based on two real life incidents between Mansfield, T. S. and Vivienne Eliot, and Virginia Wool
Katherine Mansfield and memory: Bergsonian readings
Full text linkThis thesis is the first full-length study to investigate memory discourse in Katherine
Mansfield’s short stories. It presents multiple close readings of the ways in which memory is
inscribed in Mansfield’s stories, taking an approach to memory drawn from the philosophy
of the French philosopher Henri Bergson. What Mansfield and Bergson share in common is
an idea of the insistence of memory – its survival, determination, assertion and resistance –
during a period of multiple social and historical change when memory was variously seen to
be in crisis. Bergson’s distinctive theory of memory which opposes temporalism (or ‘time in
the mind’) with measured (or ‘spatialised’) time provides a rich interpretive tool for
analysing memory in Mansfield’s fiction.
Following phases of Bergson’s developing thinking, each of the four chapters
introduces a different dimension of memory – the generative, the topological, the
degenerative and the cosmic – through which I analyse The Aloe and Prelude, ‘At the Bay’,
‘The Garden Party’, ‘The Daughters of the Late Colonel’, ‘Bliss’ and ‘The Canary’ as well
as other less well-known examples of Mansfield’s fictional and personal writings. What
emerges from this process is a new Mansfield acutely sensitive to the insistent power of
memory and the attenuation of time past into the present, concurrent with some of her
modernist contemporaries, yet especially attuned to the signal and significant thought of
Bergson
Katherine Mansfield v slovenskih prevodih
Full text linkDuring her short life Katherine Mansfield wrote numerous short stories, which place her among the best authors of this genre in world literature. The au thor of this paper tries to establish the reception of Mansfield\u27s work and the critics\u27 response in Slovenia. First translations of her stories were published in various Slovene magazines and reviews after the Second World War. However, the most complete and artistically successful presentation of her work was prepared in 1963 when Jože Udovič published twenty-eight short stories written by this author under the title Katherine Mansfield: The Garden Party. Udovič also contributed the introduction about the author and her work. The book was very well received in Slovenia not only by the reading public, but also by critics, who praised Mansfield and Udovič\u27s translation as well. After that more than twenty years passed, before Katarina Mahnič translated Katherine Mansfield\u27s short story "The Singing Lesson" in 1988. We can conclude that hopefully some new translations of Katherine Mansfield\u27s stories will appear soon.Katherine Mansfield je v svojem kratkem življenju (1888-1923) ustvarila številne kratke zgodbe, ki se uvrščajo v sam vrh svetovne književnosti. Avtor študije poskuša ugotoviti, koliko je njeno delo znano slovenskim bralcem. Prvi prevodi njenih zgodb so izšli v periodičnem tisku od leta 1958 dalje. Pisateljico in njeno delo je slovenskim bralcem najceloviteje predstavil Jože Udovič, ki je iz njenih zbirk izbral in prevedel osemindvajset zgodb ter jih leta 1963 izdal v knjigi Katherine Mansfield: Družba v vrtu. Prevodom je dodal tudi spremno besedo o pisateljici in njenem delu. Knjiga je bila na Slovenskem lepo sprejeta; o tem pričajo tudi zelo pozitivni odzivi slovenskih literarnih kritikov, ki so vsi hvalili tako pisateljičino kot tudi prevajalčevo mojstrstvo. Potem pa Slovenci več kot dvajset let nismo dobili nobenega novega prevoda zgodb Katherine Mansfield. Šele leta 1988 je Katarina Mahnič s prevodom zgodbe "Ura petja" opozorila na stoletnico pisateljičinega rojstva. Seveda paje med zgodbami Katherine Mansfield še veliko takih, ki bi bile zanimive za slovenske bralce in bi jih obogatile s svojimi idejami in vtisi
Lord Mansfield – Truly a judge
Full text linkThe starting point for this study is the ongoing debate in Poland about courts of justice and judges. The author assumes that it is much better to define the goals of reforming the justice system using universal positive models than incidental negative ones. As an example of such a positive model, the author chose the silhouette of an outstanding English judge from the second half of the eighteenth century – William Murray, Lord Mansfield. Based on the analysis of his body of rulings, he tries to understand Murray’s greatness as a judge. In the last part of the article this is presented based on the most famous ruling of Lord Mansfield – the Somerset v. Stewart judgment from 1772.Punktem wyjścia tego opracowania jest tocząca się w Polsce dyskusja wokół sądów i sędziów. Autor wychodzi z założenia, że znacznie lepiej określić cele reformy wymiaru sprawiedliwości, korzystając z uniwersalnych wzorców pozytywnych niż z incydentalnych wzorców negatywnych. Za przykład takiego pozytywnego wzorca autor wybrał sylwetkę wybitnego angielskiego sędziego z drugiej połowy XIX w. – Williama Murraya, Lorda Mansfield. Na podstawie analizy jego orzecznictwa próbuje zrozumieć, na czym polegała wielkość Murraya jako sędziego. W ostatniej części artykułu przedstawiono to w oparciu o najsłynniejsze orzeczenie Lorda Mansfield – wyrok w sprawie Somerset v. Stewart z 1772 r
