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 Mansfield in dreams. Through detailed comparative readings of their fiction, letters, and diaries, Smith explores the intense affinity between the two writers. She shows how, writing at a time when the First World War and changing attitudes to empire problematized boundaries and definitions of foreignness, both Mansfield and Woolf demonstrate moments ofdisorienting suspension where 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.
