This awesomely comprehensive and research-rich handbook to Katherine Mansfield will be a go-to resource for readers for a generation and more to come, ranging from the long-term specialist to the newly hooked browser. Everything about her work is here, both the mainstream and the quirky—its musical interests and intertexts; its global, western and southern settings; its New Zealand yearnings; and her important shaping influence on the convulsion of new media, thought and forms that was modernism. Perhaps, most of all, the reader will find here wide-ranging reflections on the immense power of the short story in her ingenious hands.
