Reviews

Moving between cognitive criticism and affect studies, biographical approaches and comparative readings, feminist inquiry and postcolonial re-examination, studies of literary influence and intertextual links, Katherine Mansfield: New Directions substantially expands the scope of Katherine Mansfield studies in the twenty-first century. Informed by new biographical investigations, rereading writing practices through interdisciplinary approaches, this series of cutting-edge discussions of Mansfield’s literary modernism limns a critical space in constant expansion. * Journal of Modern Literature *
