"The beautifully organised essays combine in fascinating ways to suggest new theoretical approaches to the question of Katherine Mansfield's impact on twentieth-century fiction. Well-grounded in both critical theory and literary history, these essays complicate older models of influence study and reveal unexpected interconnections between Mansfield and other writers.--Professor Sydney Kaplan ""University of Washington"" The editors offer a refreshing new look at the anxiety, or lack of it, of influence. Bonny Cassidy writes, influence is 'a bushfire: it jumps and lands.' Contributors show how Mansfield absorbed her eclectic reading and how writers as diverse as Evelyn Waugh and Nettie Palmer responded to the stimulus of her stories.--Professor Angela Smith ""University of Stirling"""
