Explores Katherine Mansfield’s engagement in the periodical culture of the early twentieth century
This book considers Mansfield’s ambivalent position as a colonial woman writer by examining her contributions to the political weekly The New Age, the avant-garde little magazine Rhythm and the literary journal The Athenaeum. Contextualising Mansfield’s work against the editorial strategies and professional cultures of each periodical, the book deepens and complicates older critical assumptions about the trajectory of Mansfield’s development as a writer.
