Inside Back Jacket Flap 'This transcription of the non-fiction parts of Mansfield's Notebooks, meticulously edited and annotated by two of the world's foremost Mansfield scholars, is both an indispensable academic tool and a delight to the common reader. Here is the writer at work in her own incomparably clever, sensitive and witty person.' C. K. Stead, University of Auckland 'This meticulously and expertly edited volume of Katherine Mansfield's Diaries brings her personal writings to us in all their brilliance, vividness, wit and sadness. Through them, we can trace the development of the mind and sensibility of one of the most powerful writers of the twentieth century. A major achievement.' Laura Marcus, University of Oxford Volume 4 of the Collected Works resituates Katherine Mansfield as an observant diarist, chronicler of her times and erudite reader of English and European literatures Previously only available as edited excerpts or as largely unedited transcriptions, Katherine Mansfield's diaries and notebooks have been re-transcribed and minutely edited for the first time, and are presented in this volume with precise historical, cultural and biographical contextual information. The entries show Mansfield's evolution as a writer as well as the impact of her era on early drafts of her mature writings. This volume also contains fascinating new material never previously published - poem-cycles, letters, Mansfield's own illustrations, and the last materials she was working on in the final weeks of her life. A detailed index facilitates cross-reading and referencing for scholars and general readers alike.
