Book Synopsis Katherine Mansfield by : Gerri Kimber
Download or read book Katherine Mansfield written by Gerri Kimber and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses the reason why Katherine Mansfield's reputation in France has always been greater than in England. It examines the ways in which the French reception of Mansfield has idealised her persona to the extent of crafting a hagiography. Mansfield is placed within the general literary context of her era, exploring French literary tendencies at the time and juxtaposing them with the main literary trends in England. The author determines the motives behind the French critics' desire to put Mansfield on a pedestal, discusses how the three years she spent on French soil influenced her writing and whether the translations of her work collude in the myth surrounding her personality. This book is the first sustained attempt to establish interconnections between her own French influences (literary and otherwise) and the myth-making of the French critics and translators. The book also follows the critical appraisal of Mansfield's life and work in France from her death up to the present day, by closely analysing the differing French critical responses. The author reveals how these various strands combine to create a legend which has little basis in fact, thereby demonstrating how reception and translation determine the importance of an author's reputation in the literary world.

Book Synopsis Short Stories by : Katherine Mansfield
Download or read book Short Stories written by Katherine Mansfield and published by Modernista. This book was released on 2024-04-26 with total page 663 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Katherine Mansfield is one of the greatest names in world literature in the genre of short stories. Early influenced by the impressionism of Russian writer Anton Chekhov, Mansfield developed her own modernist narrative style that has had a significant influence on all subsequent short story art. Her stories are driven by psychological conflicts, depicted with a subtlety and a poetic skewness that give them a life beyond the conventions of language. This book collects no fewer than 75 of Mansfield’s short stories. KATHERINE MANSFIELD, actually Kathleen Mansfield Beauchamp (later Murry), was born in 1888 in Wellington, New Zealand, and died in 1923 as a result of her pulmonary tuberculosis at a hospital near Fontainebleau, France. Mansfield left her homeland at the age of 19 and moved to Europe. In London, she established herself as a writer and became friends with Virginia Woolf and D.H. Lawrence. Rumour has it that the latter infected her with the lung disease that became her demise, at the young age of 35.
Book Synopsis Katherine Mansfield’s French Lives by :
Download or read book Katherine Mansfield’s French Lives written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Katherine Mansfield’s French Lives explores how both the literary, cultural, editorial and biographical influence of French arts and philosophy, and life as an émigré in France shaped Mansfield’s evolution as a key modernist writer, while setting her within the geographies and cultural dynamics of Anglo-French modernism. Mansfield’s many stays in France were decisive in intellectual, personal and psychological terms: discovering ‘Murry’s Paris’ and the Left Bank; escaping to the War Zone to join Francis Carco; living as a civilian in wartime during the bombardments of Paris; travelling and finding lodgings as a single woman in war-ravaged towns; the experience of bereavement and debilitating ill-health abroad; and the joys and pitfalls for an outsider of a foreign land and idiom.
