Published by the Katherine Mansfield Society, Stroud, England Issue 6 August 2010 Page 3 Symposium Reports ~ Katherine Mansfield, the ‗Underworld’ and the ‗Blooms Berries’ RMIT University, Melbourne 4-5 June 2010 As a scholar, enthusiast and society member I was recently fortunate enough to attend Kathe- rine Mansfield, the „Underworld‟ and the „Blooms Berries‘ Symposium held in the UNESCO city of literature, Melbourne. I was there to present a paper and to soak up all things Mansfield. Having spent the last five years immersed in Mansfield studies I was in my element. The two day celebration of Mansfield‘s life and works was held at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University (RMIT) in conjunction with the recently established Katherine Mansfield Society. The symposium kicked off with the keynote speaker, Mansfield scholar Professor Sue Thomas from La Trobe University in Melbourne. She delved into Virginia Woolf‘s perception and judgement of Katherine Mansfield with her presentation ―Lines So Hard and Cheap‘: Katherine Mansfield, Vir- ginia Woolf and the Aesthetics of Respectability‘. The paper was fascinating in its discussion of Mansfield‘s construction of a ‗short fiction‘ that was both commercially marketable and simultane- ously capable of contributing to the canon of literary modernism. Woolf, who was extremely cau- tious of the labels ‗mass-market‘ or ‗popular fiction‘, clearly felt that Mansfield was ‗selling out‘. I was amused at Professor Thomas‘ recurring focus on scent, particularly in Virginia Woolf‘s letters. Woolf‘s equation of scent with a distrustful commerciality, commonness and prostitution seems re- markably absurd today and yet was an all too natural association for Mansfield and her contemporar- ies. Woolf‘s obvious social snobbery explains so easily her jealousy towards Mansfield‘s writing and publication success. The first session after the morning tea of cupcakes and steaming cups of tea and coffee (reminding me of Mansfield‘s ‗A Cup of Tea‘) was entitled „Mansfield and Women‟. This session included a discussion of the enigmatic literary model provided for Mansfield by French writer Col- lette, as well as two presentations on Mansfield‘s influence on two celebrated Australian writers, Marjorie Barnard and Eleanor Dark – ‗Viewing Intimacy in the Work of Katherine Mansfield and Marjorie Barnard‘ by Ann Vickery and ‗Anxious Beginnings: ‗Prelude‘ and Prelude to Christopher‘ by Sarah Ailwood (respectively). These were especially captivating on the topic of Australasian re- gional responses to modernism. Ailwood rebutted the common assumption that Australasian writing was and remains ―geographical curiosities removed from global impulses‖. This is a position I feel very strongly about and so listened with relish about the politics of colonial nation-building in litera- ture. From envy to servitude, the stand-out paper for me from the „Intimates‟ session was Anna Jackson‘s ‗Katherine Mansfield and the ‗little maids‘‟. Anna effortlessly skipped across the lines be- tween biography and fiction, discussing Mansfield‘s irrational and demanding dependence on Ida Baker (or ‗LM‘ as she called her) and her contradictory representations of figures of servitude in her A cup of tea Deidre Ryan with Sue Thomas Lorraine Sim and Ann Vickery Issue 6 August 2010 Page 4 short fiction. She recalled a hilarious incident when Mansfield asked Baker to smuggle a chair out of a fire escape and across London to avoid repossession, illustrating Mansfield‘s unappreciative atti- tude towards her ―little maid‖, Baker. My mind still reels at the nuances of the relationship between the two women. The next presentation made me eager to get out my Spanish language tapes again. Annabelle Lukin from Macquarie University presented an intriguing Mansfield collaboration between the Labo- ratory for Experimentation in Translation and the Centre for Language in Social Life. Lukin is pro- ducing the Spanish and Portuguese translations of Mansfield‘s short story ‗Bliss‘. Her presentation looked into the narrative shifts and the ‗planes of narration‘ present in the story. This may seem solely the joy of an English student or linguist, but the excitement about Lukin‘s project rippled throughout the Radio Theatre. It revolutionised the way I thought about narrative and I will be first in line when she has completed the project. Throughout the two days of the symposium the delegates enjoyed sumptuous morning and af- ternoon tea surrounded by a visual presentation of Katherine Mansfield art works. Penelope Jackson, Director of the Tauranga Art Gallery, had arranged for a series of (replica) art works to be installed in the symposium building. It was a delight to see that the bonds between writing and art are still as Anna Jackson and Susannah Fullerton and Vincent O‘Sullivan Penelope Jackson permeable as they were in Katherine Mansfield‘s day when she sat for the famous Anne Estelle Rice portrait. Apparently, despite Virginia Woolf‘s communication and insistence that this painting was significant, Rice‘s bold painting was declined by the British National Gallery. Cue the collective sighs of colonial despair. On the morning of the second day we were treated to two sessions of academic papers, „Mansfield and Men‟ and „Influence‟. Two gems stood out for me among these presentations. Naomi Milthorpe, the 2009/2010 Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center Fellow, presented a humorous paper on the connection between satirists Evelyn Waugh and Katherine Mansfield in her paper titled ‗The Twilight of Language: The Young Evelyn Waugh on ‗Bliss‘‘.

  • Katherine Mansfield – Assessment Task
    Katherine Mansfield – Assessment Task Engaged in the real world of the 20th century, modernist writer Katherine Mansfield depicts her short stories and her strong beliefs on feminism, social issues and relationships through the voice of characters contained in her ‘Collection of Short Stories.’ With narrative anthologies exploring a vast range of dysfunctional relationships, Mansfield argues they should be a matter of personal choice. Her experiences growing up in New Zealand heightened her awareness of the discontinuities, lacunae, and constrictions of 20th century life. Following with her journeys around the world, where she absorbed the condescending ethics of social class around a patriarchy society, which she demonstrates throughout her narratives. The concept that relationships should be a matter of choice is portrayed by the views of multiple characters in Mansfield’s ‘Prelude’. ‘Prelude’ is the first story in the collection and is an essential reading, like its sequel, ‘At the bay.’ Initially, the Burnell family are moving from the city to the country. The three children are neglected by their parents, Linda and Stanley and are predominantly raised by their grandmother, Mrs Fairfield. The Burnell’s being ‘upper class’ use language primarily to establish control over their environment, “we shall simply have to cast them off.” This contrasts with the linguistic style of the Samuel Josephs who are ‘lower class’ and the reader assumes to be less educated, “you come and blay in the dursery”. Mansfield writes with such strong descriptive language that the story is played out visually for the reader, “she had a comb in her fingers and in a gentle absorbed fashion she was combing the curls from her mother’s forehead.” Through this technique we know Linda is unhappy in her marriage and ironically her envious sister Beryl Fairfield contrarily wishes she was in one.

When Pat swung them on top of the luggage they wobbled; the grandmother's lap was full and Linda Burnell could not possibly have held a lump of a child on hers for any distance. Isabel, very superior, was perched beside the new handy-man on the driver's seat. Hold-alls, bags and boxes were piled upon the floor. "These are absolute necessities that I will not let out of my sight for one instant," said Linda Burnell, her voice trembling with fatigue and by Katherine Mansfield 3 excitement. Lottie and Kezia stood on the patch of lawn just inside the gate all ready for the fray in their coats with brass anchor buttons and little round caps with battleship ribbons. Hand in hand, they stared with round solemn eyes, first at the absolute necessities and then at their mother. "We shall simply have to leave them. That is all. We shall simply have to cast them off," said Linda Burnell.

  • A Comment on Katherine Mansfield's a Dill Pickle
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, August 2015, Vol. 5, No. 8, 583-587 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2015.08.002 D DAVID PUBLISHING A Comment on Katherine Mansfield’s A Dill Pickle WANG Xiao-yan, LI Ze-ming Changchun University, Changchun, China Katherine Mansfield is a world famous woman master of short stories in English literature. Her stories are sensitive revelations of human behaiour in quite ordinary situations, through which we can glimpse a powerful, and sometimes cruelly pessimistic view of life. A Dill Pickle is one of her short stories published in 1917, describing the encounter between a young woman and a young man who have been lovers six years ago and their lost love and changes over the years. Short as it is, it is really worth our carful analysis and appreciation. This paper will comment on this short story from the following two aspects: a commont on the theme of the story; a comment on the writing technique of the story. The paper conludes that romantic love is dependent upon circumstances and the convergence of certain character traits at a particular time. Keywords: A Dill Pickle, Katherine Mansfield, theme, technique Introduction Katherine Mansfield, an outstanding woman master of short stories of 20th century English literature, was born in a middle-class family in New Zealand. Throughout her life , she led a wandering life in search of health and wrote under difficulties. And most of her works are from the recreation of her experineces with the theme of women’s disillusion and loneliness. A Dill Pickle, completed in 1917, is one of her most significant masterpieces and it is based on her own experience.

  • Katherine Mansfield and Conceptualisations of the Self
    Katherine Mansfield and Conceptualisations of the Self Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of English Literature At the University of Northampton 2018 Louise Jane Edensor © Louise Jane Edensor 2018 PhD This thesis is copyright material and no quotation from it may be published without proper acknowledgement. Abstract The thesis aims to show how Katherine Mansfield’s desire to discover aspects of the self shaped her strengths and distinctiveness as a writer, particularly in the development of her own modernist aesthetic. Mansfield’s letters and notebooks often betray a preoccupation with issues of the self. In one notebook entry she exclaims, ‘if one was true to oneself . True to oneself! Which self? Which of my many – well, really, that’s what it looks like coming to – hundreds of selves’ (CW4, 349). By examining this and many other scattered references to the self throughout Mansfield’s letters and notebooks, this thesis aims to uncover the relationship between Mansfield’s personal comments and questions on the self and the development of her literary techniques. The beginning of the twentieth century, when Mansfield was writing, saw many advancements in science and technology as well as new psychological theories popularised by William James and Sigmund Freud. These theories added to a discourse on the psychological make-up of the individual as modernity caused a crisis in understanding the construction of the self, calling identity into question. By examining these theories, this thesis provides a framework for the analysis of Mansfield’s writing, integrating current critical commentary on her fiction, Mansfield’s private thoughts and her experimental fiction.

  • The Pursuit of Inner Peace—The Modernistic Narration in Katherine
    Journal of Arts & Humanities Studies, Volume 1, ISSN: 2664-0295 The Pursuit of Inner Peace—The Modernistic Narration in Katherine Mansfield’s Short Stories Zhang Lina1,a,*, Wang Shanshan2,b 1 Dalian Neusoft University of Information, Dalian, Liaoning, China 2 Dalian Neusoft University of Information, Dalian, Liaoning, China [email protected], [email protected] *Corresponding author: Zhang Lina Keywords: Modernistic narration, Inner peace, Katherine Mansfield, Short stories. Abstract. Katherine Mansfield innovatively applies the modernistic narrative techniques to her creation of short stories to fill her works with poetic artistic charm. The paper aims at exploring her emphasis on the characters’ pursuit of their inner peace in the short stories through modernistic narration techniques like plotless writing, stream of consciousness and interior monologue. 1. Introduction In an era characterized by industrialization, rapid social change, advances in science and the social sciences, Modernists felt a growing alienation incompatible with Victorian morality, optimism, and convention. Undoubtedly, the crisis of the society and the spiritual trauma of people led to a great change in literary world. “It is one of the great and flourishing periods of writing, a time when the novel changed wonderfully in spirit and purpose” (Bradbury ⅴ). Writers turned their focus onto the inner world and individuality of ordinary human beings. Therefore, either in form or in content, the literary works of this period broke the bondage of time and space and described the changing consciousness of people. Katherine Mansfield, a famous modernistic female writer, is no exception who established her literary fame on the short story writing. It’s universally acknowledged that her life “was a small and sad legend of loss, romantic illness, and talent unfulfilled” (Robinson 1).
