Produktbeschreibung

Note: Please change the '&' to 'and' on the front. 'This excellent edition of Katherine Mansfield's Collected Poems by two of the finest scholars in the field, with its inclusion of recently discovered and previously unpublished work, and comprehensive notes, offers a new view of Mansfield's talent in this genre and will suggest fresh approaches to her work as a whole.' C. K. Stead, University of Auckland The 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 1909-1910, 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. Gerri Kimber is Visiting Professor in the Department of English at the University of Northampton, UK. She is co-editor of Katherine Mansfield Studies and Chair of the Katherine Mansfield Society. She devised and is Series Editor of the four-volume Edinburgh Edition of the Collected Works of Katherine Mansfield (2012-16). Claire Davison is Professor of Modernist Studies at the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle - Paris III. She is the author of Translation as Collaboration - Virginia Woolf, Katherine Mansfield and S. S. Koteliansky (2014). Her ongoing research focuses on trans-European modernist links on the radio in the 1930s-1940s, and the interlinks between modernist literature and music.
