Summary:

Katherine Mansfield (1888-1923) was one of the leading figures in the development of the modernist short story and her writings were a profound influence on writers such as Virginia Woolf and D.H. Lawrence. Presenting for the first time draft manuscripts of some of her most important stories, this book gives scholars and students alike vivid new insight into Mansfield's creative process. With manuscripts for each text presented in facsimile and transcript, detailed notes throughout compare early drafts with later revisions and the final published work. In the final section of the book leading scholars offer vivid new critical readings exploring the manuscript history of these stories. A detailed descriptive listing of the major Mansfield archives is also included to help researchers explore the work further. The stories included are: 'Je ne parle pas francais'; 'Sun and Moon'; 'Revelations'; 'The Stranger'; 'The Daughters of the Late Colonel'; 'Mr and Mrs Dove'; 'Marriage à la Mode'; 'The Voyage'; 'Six Years After'; 'The Fly'.
