The Edinburgh Edition of the Collected Letters of Katherine Mansfield, Volume 4: Letters to John Middleton Murry 1919-1922

Following the 4-volume Edinburgh Edition of the Collected Works of Katherine Mansfield published from 2012-16, comes a new and authoritative edition of Katherine Mansfield’s letters which incorporates the new material which has come to light, both by way of newly discovered letters as well as important biographical information. Gerri Kimber and Claire Davison have returned to the original letters, re-transcribed and fully annotated them, taking into account the huge volume of recent Mansfield scholarship unavailable to previous editors of the letters. Innovatively grouped by recipient, this edition allows the reader to trace Mansfield’s individual relationships via her letters. Mansfield’s concern in her letters with exile and emigration, intimacy and betrayal, the traumas of war and disease, nature and the environment, and fashions and food, are fully appraised in this new edition for twenty-first century scholars and readers.
