Radical Mansfield - a rare look behind the surface of Mansfield's 'chocolate box' pieces,
By Song & story lover (Midwest, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Radical Mansfield: Double Discourse in Katherine Mansfield's Short Stories (Hardcover)
Pamela Dunbar reveals Katherine Mansfield to be a writer whose stories contained provocative subtexts radically at odds with their lyrical surfaces. The book shows the extent to which, in lesser-known stories, Mansfield deals with challenging subjects such as prostitution and procuration, murder within marriage, female frigidity, sexual deviation and child sexuality.
Mansfield emerges from this detailed and sensitive study as a groundbreaking Modernist - one who took account of the cultural concerns of her time, and who profoundly influenced her friend, the writer Virginia Woolf. Dunbar provides original interpretations of many of Mansfield's short stories, and includes one (involving sibling rape) reproduced here for the first time. The cover of the book has a portrait of Katherine Mansfield (1918) by Anne Estelle Rice. |
