Inside, you’ll find infor- mation about all the upcoming KM-related gatherings in what is shaping up to be a very busy year. The first of many events will see KM scholars and aficionados assemble in Paris for a major interna- tional conference in June, as Claire Davison discusses in her report on what’s in store for all those lucky enough to attend (p. 4). If you can’t make it to Paris, there will be other opportunities to hear about KM this year, at the Annual Birthday Lecture (p. 20) and another conference in Limerick in November (p. 18); in related news, there’s also the upcoming conference on New Zealand in the First World War, organised by the New Zealand Studies Network in London (p. 27). Perhaps your travels to these events will inspire you to share your KM-story, just as Lana Doyle has done (p. 6); as an ex- tra bonus, Lana’s article is accompanied by an illustration drawn by her sister Rosa, who has also provided the cover image for this issue. There’s news of another KM-story in the announcement of Kirsty Gunn’s new book (p. 3), and a chance to win a copy (detailed below). Elsewhere, you can read about a real first for KM studies – the translation of her work into Slovak for the first time by Janka Kaščáková (p. 13). What’s more, translation will be the theme of the next issue of Katherine Mans- field Studies (p. 12) and the next Essay Prize (p. 15). Scholarship on KM and characters close to her also continues unabated, as is evident in Jennifer Walker’s account of some of the ‘figures in the background’ of her recent biography of Elizabeth von Arnim, KM’s cousin (p. 16), and in Martin Griffiths’ commentary on Serenade Espagnole by Arnold Trowell (p. 19). Another find is detailed by Philip Dart (p. 26) in his article about how a letter by KM’s father Harold Beauchamp came into his possession. Finally, to showcase one of the KMS’s most recent ventures – the KMS Essay Series, available on the Society’s website – we’re pleased to present an extract from Moira Taylor’s fascinat- ing ‘Katherine Mansfield: Fifty Years After’ (p. 21). Thanks to all of our contributors and to Gerri Kimber for their role in putting together what we hope you’ll agree is a bumper issue of the KMS Newsletter. Happy reading, and help make the next issue just as memorable by getting in touch with comments and submissions! Just email the editor at: the usual address: [email protected] Jenny McDonnell Editor, Katherine Mansfield Society Newsletter COMPETITION Last issue we gave you a chance to get a head-start on all things related to KM and France in prepa- ration for the conference in June, by entering our competition to win a copy of Gerri Kimber’s Kath- erine Mansfield: The View From France. Gerri posed the following question: In the winter of 1913-1914, KM and JMM move to Paris and rent a little apartment for a few weeks before returning to London towards the end of February 1914. What is the address of the apartment? The correct answer, of course, was 31 Rue de Tournon. Well done to everyone who answered the question correctly, and particular congratulations go to the lucky winner, Lei Yanni. Your prize is on its way! This issue, we’re offering readers a chance to win a copy of Kirsty Gunn’s new book Thorndon: Wellington and Home: My Katherine Mansfield Project. To enter, simply email the editor with your answer to the following question: What was the name of the Beauchamps’ family home in Karori, which Mansfield used as the setting for ‘The Doll’s House’? If you’re not lucky enough to win this copy of Kirsty’s book, all is not lost! Just turn the page for more information about how to purchase a copy of your own. Issue 17 April 2014 Page 3 Thorndon Wellington and Home: My Katherine Mansfield Project Kirsty Gunn ‘If I began asking you questions about Wellington ways there would be no end to it …’ Katherine Mansfield ‘I came home to Wellington, to a place half remembered, half real, half fantasy, half fact, remem- bered and a dream …’ Kirsty Gunn In this exquisitely written ‘notebook’, Kirsty Gunn explores the meaning of home. Returning to the city of her birth after an absence of thirty years, Gunn’s exploration quickly takes on new forms, de- veloping into a ‘Katherine Mansfield Project’. Zig-zagging across Thorndon streets, Wellington hills and New Zealand childhoods, Gunn’s project charts a terrain of emotional attachment and the source of potent imaginative forces.

Issue 17 April 2014 Page 4 Summertime in Paris, with KM The forthcoming Katherine Mansfield in France conference, jointly organised by the KMS and the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle – Paris III, takes place from 19thJune until 22ndJune, so we’ll be in the heart of the Latin Quarter for the evening of the 21st June, now celebrated throughout France (and elsewhere in Europe) as the ‘Fête de la Musique’ to celebrate the arrival of summer. As the summary below shows, the event itself will be quite a fête, explor- ing every facet of Mansfield’s French life and throwing in a stunning concert of our own. The conference begins Thursday morning, with an inaugural speech by the New Zea- land Ambassador in Paris, followed by the keynote talk given by our honoured New Zealand guest, C.K. Stead. Then after a day of non-stop presentations, we’ll spend the evening at the NZ embassy, where we have a cello and piano recital given by London cellist Joseph Spoon- er (http://josephspooner.net) and London-based, New Zealand-born pianist Kathryn Mosley, followed by a reception hosted by the embassy. The concert programme combines early twentieth-century French sonatas, cello pieces by Arnold Trowell (some of which have not been performed since the 1910s), and also a piece specially composed for the year 2014 by Paris-based New Zealand composer, Nigel Keay (http://www.nigelkeay.com/). A record company is interested in recording this exceptional event, so those who really can’t make it may well have the chance to listen later… Friday maintains the same pace, with another full day’s presentations, the keynote talk by Sydney Janet Kaplan and then an evening reception at the Sorbonne, where we’ll be listening to a poet’s Mansfield-inspired recent poetry, a novelist’s account of writing a fic- tional version of KM’s friendship with Ida Baker, and then a composer’s description of transforming Mansfield stories into song. There will be yet another packed day on Saturday, the last official day of the confer- ence, with papers all day and the keynote by Gerri Kimber. But after so much intensive work, all participants registered in advance will have the opportunity of relaxing in style at the end of the day. This will be at the conference banquet, to be held not at the ‘Bouillon Racine’ as initially announced but, even better, at ‘Le Procope’ off the Boulevard Saint Ger- main, one of Paris’s oldest restaurants, founded in 1689, and destined to become a key meet- ing place for revolutionary figures in the immediate post-1789 years and then a major intel- lectual café and meeting place throughout the Enlightenment. As the link confirms, it’s quite a museum piece in itself, as well as being renowned for its haute cuisine (http:// www.procope.com/). On to Sunday, which is the post-conference day out in the countryside. We’re spend- ing the day in Fontainebleau-Avon, a trip that will include visiting the grounds of the Prieuré where Mansfield died, laying a wreath on her tomb, attending a reception at the local town hall and discovering the outskirts of the forest where there are a number of KM memorial sites.

  • The German Exile Literature and the Early Novels of Iris Mur- Doch
    University of Szeged Faculty of Arts Doctoral Dissertation The German Exile Literature and the Early Novels of Iris Mur- doch Dávid Sándor Szőke Supervisors: Dr. Zoltán Kelemen Dr. Anna Kérchy 2021 Acknowledgements I have a great number of people to thank for their support throughout this thesis, whether this support has been academic, financial, or spiritual. First of all, I would like to thank my supervisors, Dr Zoltán Kelemen and Dr Anna Kérchy for their unending help, encouragement and faith in me during my research. Their knowledge about the Holocaust, 20th century English woman writers and minorities has given exceptional depth to my understanding of Murdoch, Steiner, Canetti and Adler. The eye-opening essays and lectures by Dr Peter Weber about the Romanian painter and Holocaust survivor Arnold Daghani’s time in England provided a genesis for this thesis. Had it not for him, I would not have thought about putting Murdoch’s thinking in the context of Cen- tral European refugee literature and culture during and after the Second World War. This thesis owes much to the 2017 Holocaust Conference in Szeged (19 October) and the 2019 International Holocaust Conference in Halle (14-16 November). I would like to express my gratitude to the March of the Living Hungary, the Holocaust Memorial Centre Budapest, the Memory Point of Hódmezővásárhely, the synagogues of Szeged and Hódmezővásárhely, Professor Werner Nell (Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg), Professor Thomas Bremer (Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg), Professor Sue Vice (University of Shef- field), and Dr Zoltán Kelemen for making these events possible. During my PhD, as part of the Erasmus ++ programme I spent an entire year at Martin- Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, where I made a great deal of research about the German coming to terms with the past.

  • 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.

  • Fifty Years After
    Katherine Mansfield Society Essay Series Moira Taylor Katherine Mansfield: Fifty Years After 1 ‘Characteristically, she was a chameleon, being all things to all people and, like a divining rod, sensitive to every aspect of friend or stranger.’ 1 – Anne Estelle Rice In 1973, renewed interest in Mansfield was stimulated in Britain by the forthcoming fiftieth anniversary of her death and a BBC series featuring Vanessa Redgrave and Jeremy Brett as Katherine Mansfield and her husband John Middleton Murry. They enacted scenes from her life while other actors – at least two were New Zealanders – dramatized her short stories for the viewing public. As a reporter with the New Zealand Press Association I visited the film set in Hastings. A series of meetings and coincidences led me into a number of articles and interviews resulting in a radio documentary of reminiscences by three of her intimates – Ida Baker, her companion, Jeanne Renshaw, her youngest sister and Richard Murry, her brother– in–law. I recollect here the special anniversary issue of Adam, the literary magazine which devoted itself to her memory, its brilliant, domineering but fascinating editor Miron Grindea, my own memories of meeting the close associates of Mansfield I interviewed and also Vanessa Redgrave, who was ‘Katherine’ in the BBC series of her life and work: A Picture of Katherine Mansfield. At the time the only biographies available were New Zealander Anthony Alpers’ excellent first edition written in 1953 – he published an expanded edition in 1980 – and the biography by Ruth Mantz (1933), a Stanford graduate. The Mantz biograpy raised the issue of the Mansfield myth perpetuated by John Middleton Murry’s editions of her work which came in a steady stream after her death in 1923.
