‘“We owe to her the prosperity of the ‘free’ story,” Elizabeth Bowen said of Katherine Mansfield: “she untrammelled it from conventions.” Here, at last, is the evidence in full: the edition Mansfield deserves.’Professor David Trotter, University of Cambridge 'This much needed and very welcome work does two important things: It gives us all of Mansfield’s fiction, with useful notes; and it removes many of John Middleton Murry’s intrusions into the stories he edited after Mansfield’s death. We all owe the editors, Gerri Kimber and Vincent O’Sullivan, a debt of gratitude for this excellent edition of the work of a major modernist writer.'Professor Robert Scholes, Brown University The Edinburgh Edition of the Collected Fiction of Katherine Mansfield: Volume 1 Fiction 1898–1915 Edited by Gerri Kimber and Vincent O’Sullivan The first complete edition of Katherine Mansfield’s fiction These two volumes collect together 219 of Mansfield’s stories, including 4 newly discovered, previously unpublished stories. Together the volumes expand considerably upon the largest previous single collected edition of 85 stories. Gathered here are Mansfield’s best-loved stories, stories uncollected, unpublished or left incomplete during her lifetime, the full text of The Aloe, from which Mansfield shaped her ground-breaking work Prelude, and her own manuscript versions of several stories later ‘edited’ by her husband, John Middleton Murry. The volumes are arranged in chronological order, so that readers can trace Mansfield’s progress as a creative writer, month-by-month, from her first schoolgirl story in 1898 to her last completed story in July 1922. Mansfield will be read differently, and more accurately, as a result of this edition. The annotations and their cross-referencing to her letters and notebooks deepen what we know of the context and genesis of her fiction. This edition is testament to Mansfield’s importance among twentieth century English-language writers and to her rare and original handling of the short story form.

This first complete edition of Katherine Mansfield’s poetry This edition is made up of 217 poems, ordered chronologically, so that the reader can follow Mansfield’s development as a poet and her experiments with different forms as well as trace the themes such as love and death, the natural world and the seasons, childhood and friendship, music and song which preoccupied her throughout her writing life. The comprehensive annotations provide illuminating biographical information as well as explaining the rich contexts of the European poetic tradition, including fin de siècle decadence, within which her artistry is steeped. The inclusion of a collection of newly-discovered poems, dating from 1909-10, highlights Mansfield’s desire to be taken seriously as a poet from her earliest beginnings as a writer. The poems as a whole point to a poet who varied her craft as she perfected it, often witty and ironic yet always enchanted by the sound of words.

The complete works of Katherine Mansfield in 4 volumes This four-volume edition of Katherine Mansfield’s works, assembled by Series Editor Gerri Kimber and her co-editors, brings together, for the first time, everything Mansfield wrote aside from her letters (which have their own edition). Volumes 1 and 2 – the fiction – bring together 220 stories and story fragments, expanding considerably on a previous ‘definitive' edition of 85 stories. Arranged chronologically, the reader can trace Mansfield’s progress, month by month from her first schoolgirl story in 1898 to her last complete story in July 1922. Volume 3 redefines Mansfield as a critic, translator and poet, by bringing together all of her poetry (almost 200 poems), her literary translations, her witty, sometimes scorching parodies, pastiches and essays, as well as her many incisive reviews of the novels of the day. The collection attests to the enormous variety of her non-fiction output, some of it published here for the first time. Volume 4 – the diaries – resituates Mansfield not just as a short story writer, but also as an observant diarist, chronicler of her times and an erudite reader of English and European literatures. The size of the volume attests to the variety of personal writings, accounts, and reading notes she produced during her lifetime, some of it unpublished until this edition. The material presented here has been minutely edited for the first time, with precise historical, cultural and biographical contextualisations. Essential contextual perspectives reveal Mansfield’s evolution as a writer, and the impact of her era on early drafts of her mature writings. A detailed index facilitates cross-reading and referencing for scholars and general readers alike. Together, all four volumes offer readers the scholarly edition Mansfield’s writing so richly deserves.

Vilsna hundar är Elisa Rossholms tolkning av Katherine Mansfields noveller "Je ne parle pas français" och "Dockskåpet". I utkanten av gemenskapen rör sig människor – i blickar, missförstånd, i sociala gränser som inte alltid syns men känns. "Je ne parle pas français" och "Dockskåpet" utspelar sig i olika världar, men förenas av en känsla av att stå lite vid sidan av – att se utan att riktigt vara med, eller vara med utan att höra till. Nyzeeländskan Katherine Mansfield (1888-1923) räknas som en av modernismens mest betydelsefulla novellförfattare, känd för sina precisa iakttagelser av mänskliga relationer och sociala strukturer. Vilsna hundar är Elisa Rossholms sjätte grafiska roman. Novellerna i föreliggande verk bygger på Märta Lindqvists svenska översättningar från 1922 och 1923. Omslagsillustration: Elisa Rossholm. Omslagsdesign: Elin Thomson.
