Reviews

By contextualizing Katherine Mansfield's periodical publications, Chris Mourant deepens and complicates earlier critical assumptions about the trajectory of her development as a writer. His readings of individual stories and articles are beautifully integrated with perceptive discussions of how Mansfield's writing interacts with that of other authors in the same periodicals. This truly is a remarkable book.-- ""Sydney Janet Kaplan, University of Washington"" Chris Mourant is not only a talented scholar but also a gifted literary detective, opening up perspectives on Mansfield's life and works that we never even knew existed.-- ""Claire Davison, University Sorbonne-Nouvelle - Paris III"" Mourant's astute, meticulously researched, and highly original monograph responding to the recent developments in the field of modernist studies not only demonstrates the significant potential of such new directions, but is yet another proof that, in spite of the sustained academic interest in Katherine Mansfield, there is no end to new readings of and approaches to her unique artistic creations.--Janka Kascakova ""Hungarian Journal of English and American Studies (26.1)"" With detailed archival work, wide-ranging research, and shrewd analysis, Mourant amply demonstrates the rewards of repositioning Mansfield's work within its periodical context. Scholars of modernist women's writing, of Mansfield, and of periodicals, will learn much and find fodder for further scholarship in this provocative and engaging book.--Carey Snyder, Ohio University ""Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature, 39.1, Spring 2020""
