Recensioner i media

Each section of Davison and Kimber's richly researched new Letters to Correspondents is introduced with a biographical sketch of a correspondent, helping us see the nature of the impulse that moved her to write. [...] By choosing to tell their story of Mansfield's life through her relationships, Davison and Kimber transfer the emphasis normally given to her terminal illness to the extraordinary range of the relations she kept alive.
