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.

Katherine Mansfield and Translation

Although it resonates today with lavender fields, sunny heritage locations and the gentrified memory of Paul Cézanne’s pictorial turbulence, Provence has not always been the attractive territory of pacified leisure and festival culture. Since the seventeenth century, indeed, the region has inscribed its shifting geography, complex politics and the extraordinary diversity of its land and seascapes in the perception and imagination of British visitors. In the steps of anonymous or excellent travellers, the chapters of this volume chart some of the most significant moments in the intercultural transactions between the proud linguistic and literary distinctiveness of the province on one hand and the always challenged and sometimes baffled perception of Anglophone (and Anglophile) visitors on the other. Spanning across two centuries, from the largely unknown pre-revolutionary Provence visited by John locke and tobias smollett through the Victorian paradise of popular tourism and finally to the more secret ‘homeland’ of Modernists, this volume reveals an unexpected Provence which, in oblique and complex ways, has long held a mirror to British culture and often acted as the laboratory of its artistic life.
