Katherine Mansfield and the origins of modernist fiction / Sydney Janet Kaplan

Sydney Janet Kaplan

In Kaplan's view, and contrary to traditional interpretations of the period, women writers were at the center rather than on the margins of British modernism. This book explores Katherine Mansfield's significance as a writer whose fiction and criticism influenced, reflected, and advanced modernist aesthetic principles. The book examines the relationship between Mansfield's contribution to modernist fiction and her struggles as a woman writer during the era of modernist experimentation.
