Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf by Angela Smith

Long after the death of Katherine Mansfield (1888-1923), Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) described being haunted by Mansfied in dreams. Through detailed comparative readings of their fiction, letters, and diaries, Angela Smith explores the intense affinity between the two writers. Writing at a time when the First World War and the changing attitudes towards empire problematized definitions of foreignness, the fiction of both Mansfield and Woolf is characterized by moments in which the perceiving consciousness sees the familiar made strange, the domestic made menacing.
A perecptive new study of their friendship - Elizabeth Lowry, TLS 16th July 1999
Angela Smith is Senior Lecturer and Director of the Centre of Commonwealth Studies at the University of Stirling.
