A new look at Katherine Mansfield and her short stories - ten stories as a way of exploring her life and work - to tie in with the Katherine Mansfield centenary in 2023
This is a celebration of Katherine Mansfield and her stories, to publish for KM's centenary in 2023.
Claire Harman will look closely at ten key stories and use each one as a way of exploring different events and themes in KM's life and work. It's a very appealing and successful structure. And with Mansfield's New Zealand background and her eventful and passionate life, it's not quite as familiar as it might seem at first.
There haven't been any KM biographies since the 1980s and with the centenary coming the time is ripe for a new book. Classics will be publishing an accompanying edition of the ten stories (they are out of copyright).
KM has history with Hogarth too. She was the only writer Virginia Woolf admitted to feeling jealous of.
