Rather they are designed to give sub- stance to the lives of those people who figure in Mansfield’s life, and indeed to say more about her own life, in a way that the format of the preceding narrative does not permit. Where it is deemed par- ticularly helpful, there are references to the Chronology and works cited in the Bibliography. Baker, Ida Constance (LM) (1888–1978) was born in Stuston, Suffolk, the daughter of a colonel. (‘Constance’, ‘daughter’ and ‘colonel’ inevitably call to mind Constantia and ‘The Daughters of the Late Colonel’. As Ida Baker herself said in her book, she is gently caricatured in that story.) When she was still a baby the family went to Burma, not returning until she was seven. They then settled in Welbeck Street, London, and Ida and her sister entered Queen’s College School (the junior part of Queen’s College) as day girls. They moved to Queen’s College itself in 1901. Ida’s mother died early in 1903 so she became a boarder at the college like KM (nine months her junior) and her sisters who entered the college during the same year. The two girls met immediately and, some months later, KM, rather oddly, proposed friendship. When Ida was study- ing to become a professional violinist she wanted to take her mother’s name, Katherine Moore. But KM wanted ‘Katherine’ for herself and proposed she take her brother’s name, Lesley. Thus ‘Lesley Moore’, so often shortened to ‘L.M.’, was born. 93 94 A Katherine Mansfield Chronology From the time they met until KM’s death 20 years later, Ida Baker is far and away the most important woman in KM’s life. Servant, companion, friend, confidante, wife, she selflessly played whatever role KM wanted her to. During those 20 years there were only three periods of time when she was not either living with her or avail- able at her beck and call: (1) when KM returned to New Zealand, October 1906 to August 1908; (2) when Ida was in Rhodesia for a few months in 1911, her father and brother having settled there the year before and (3) when she was again in Rhodesia, travelling there in late March 1914 and returning in the autumn of 1916. Of course Ida experienced the totality of KM’s emotional range during those 20 years, from deep venomous hatred to utter dependence on her. After KM entered Gurdjieff’s Institute (Ida’s contemporary diary fixes the exact date) she took a job on a farm at Lisieux, near Caen. All too soon she was called to attend KM’s funeral. After KM’s death Murry employed Ida to type her manuscripts for £10 a month, a good choice as she was used to KM’s execrable handwriting. Ida also worked as a housekeeper for Elizabeth Russell (Beauchamp) in her London home and at a bungalow in Wood- green, a village in the New Forest. There in 1942, with a woman friend she had made, Helen Harvey, she moved into a small cottage. Her companion died the following year but she stayed on and in 1971 finally published Katherine Mansfield, the Memories of LM, with a linking commentary by Georgina Joysmith and a foreword by the pioneering American Mansfield scholar, Sylvia Berkman. This book she intended as a vindication of KM who had been, as she saw it, done down, sold short by a wide circle of people both in her life and after her death in memoirs, reminiscences and biographies. She thought KM’s father mean towards her and could not forgive Murry for publishing so much of her writing posthumously when she (KM) had expressly ordered the opposite. She also thought that Antony Alpers had got things wrong in his first biography of KM (1953) despite her assisting him in preparing it. Of KM’s friends only Koteliansky comes out well in her book. Beauchamp, Annie Burnell (AB) (1864–1918) was born in Sydney, Australia, to Joseph and Margaret Isabella Dyer (née Mansfield). Shortly after her marriage to Harold Beauchamp in 1884 her mother and two of her sisters, Kitty and Belle, came to live with them. Thus A Who’s Who in the Mansfield Chronology 95 it was that Granny Dyer rather than Annie Beauchamp became the most important adult in the early lives of the children (and the affection she lavished on them is returned in the portrayal of the grandmother figures in the stories). Against Annie Beauchamp’s action in cutting KM from her will on her return from Europe in 1909 (Chronology, 13 August 1909) may be balanced KM’s tribute to her on hearing of her death (Chronology, 8 August 1918). Beauchamp, Harold (HB) (1858–1938) was born in Ararat in the State of Victoria, Australia, in November 1858, the eldest surviving child of Arthur and Mary Elizabeth Beauchamp née Stanley (Eliza- beth Stanley was a pseudonym KM occasionally used). His father, something of a rolling stone, moved his growing family to Picton on the north-eastern tip of South Island, New Zealand, in 1861 and Harold went to school there. After some years in Wanganui, on North Island, the family moved in 1876 to Wellington and the fol- lowing year Harold joined the importing firm of W.M. Bannatyne and Co. It is probably not too much to say that he turned the for- tunes of the company round, becoming a partner in 1889 and sole partner five years later. In 1884 he had married Annie Burnell Dyer whom he had been courting since she was 14 and who, like him, had been born in Australia. They were years of great success for Harold. In the 1890s he began to gather company directorships such as the Gear Meat Company and the Equitable Building and Invest- ment Company. As detailed in the Chronology, he regularly moved his family to bigger and better properties. In 1898 he became a director of the Bank of New Zealand and its chairman in 1907. That same year he arranged for a local reporter, Tom Mills, to evaluate KM’s work. This led to her publication in the Melbourne periodical, the Native Companion, later in the year. Having thus helped to launch her career (and also paying for his three eldest daughters to finish their education in London, 1903–6), he now proceeded to grant her an allowance of £100 p.a. on her return to England in 1908. Over the years this was regularly increased: in 1916 it was £156, in 1919 £260 and by November 1921 £300 p.a. (see the table of Monetary Equivalents). Despite her fears that he might stop her allowance he never did. Nor did he take the (surely reason- able) attitude that once she was married to Middleton Murry, the latter should assume sole responsibility for providing for her. He was 96 A Katherine Mansfield Chronology similarly generous to his other daughters all of whom, like KM, eventually left for the northern hemisphere. Meanwhile his wife Annie had died in 1918, leaving him a lonely man. In January 1920 he married Laura Bright, a family friend. After KM’s death three years later, he arranged that 47 Fitzherbert Terrace, Wellington, her last address in New Zealand, be donated to the nation and the proceeds used towards the establishment of a National Art Gallery. He was also persuaded to donate £200 to the Alexander Turnbull Library for the purchase of her first editions. In 1929 he was dismayed to learn that her body was not in a proper grave but in the ‘fosse commune’ at Avon which could be re-used. With- out bothering to contact Middleton Murry, for whom he seems to have had little time, he sent Jeanne’s husband, Captain Renshaw, to France to sort the matter out.

  • AWAR of INDIVIDUALS: Bloomsbury Attitudes to the Great
    2 Bloomsbury What were the anti-war feelings chiefly expressed outside ‘organised’ protest and not under political or religious banners – those attitudes which form the raison d’être for this study? As the Great War becomes more distant in time, certain actions and individuals become greyer and more obscure whilst others seem to become clearer and imbued with a dash of colour amid the sepia. One thinks particularly of the so-called Bloomsbury Group.1 Any overview of ‘alter- native’ attitudes to the war must consider the responses of Bloomsbury to the shadows of doubt and uncertainty thrown across page and canvas by the con- flict. Despite their notoriety, the reactions of the Bloomsbury individuals are important both in their own right and as a mirror to the similar reactions of obscurer individuals from differing circumstances and backgrounds. In the origins of Bloomsbury – well known as one of the foremost cultural groups of the late Victorian and Edwardian periods – is to be found the moral and aesthetic core for some of the most significant humanistic reactions to the war. The small circle of Cambridge undergraduates whose mutual appreciation of the thoughts and teachings of the academic and philosopher G.E. Moore led them to form lasting friendships, became the kernel of what would become labelled ‘the Bloomsbury Group’. It was, as one academic described, ‘a nucleus from which civilisation has spread outwards’.2 This rippling effect, though tem- porarily dammed by the keenly-felt constrictions of the war, would continue to flow outwards through the twentieth century, inspiring, as is well known, much analysis and interpretation along the way.

    International Journal of Science Vol.5 No.1 2018 ISSN: 1813-4890 Representation of Modernism in Mansfield’s Short Stories Jialing Ding Nantong University, Nantong 226001, China [email protected] Abstract The modernist thought itself has a very complex background. Strictly speaking, modernism is not a genre, but a literary trend that is revealed in many modernist creative fictions. Kathrine Mansfield’s works have this unique feature. She uses modernist techniques in her short stories very skillfully and tactfully. The aim of the thesis is to explore representative modernist techniques in Mansfield’s short stories. Through the research, I want to prove that she is an innovator of English short stories. The thesis mainly discusses stream of consciousness in Mansfield’s short stories which includes association, time and space montage and illusion. The thesis also analyses symbols in her representative short stories and different perspectives of narration in her works. I sincerely hope that readers can understand her works better through my efforts. Undoubtedly, Mansfield opens up a path to a higher literary standard. Keywords Mansfield; modernism; stream of consciousness; symbolism; perspectives of narration. 1. Introduction Katherine Mansfield(1888-1923) is a splendid English short story writer in the early 20th century. In order to get a better development, Mansfield gave up her pleasant and affluent life. Surprisingly, she chose to travel to London by herself. From the moment she set foot in London, she has become a wandering soul who didn’t have a complete home. Mansfield had complex personality, at the same time, she went through the same intricate life journey.

Yet Gilyak; Russian Empire Chekhov’s chronicle of Sakhalin Island in the Russian Far East parallels in important ways Mansfield’s near-contemporaneous account of colonial life in New Zealand. Both writers are con- cerned with a specific variant of the colonial situation: settler colonialism, which prioritizes appropriation of land over the gov- ernance of peoples. This article considers the aesthetic strategies each writer develops for capturing that milieu within the frame- work of the settler colonial aesthetics that has guided much anthropological engagement with endangered peoples.

The latter published his monograph entitled Fyodor Dostoevsky: A Critical Study in 1916, and, parallel with that major novels (Mansfield 63 5) an experience that would stay with her until the 1919 article of the Athenaeum she compares the London literary scene to the -writers declaring Kaye 19).

Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver V6T1W5, Canada Date ii ABSTRACT For a brief period in the history of Western literature, liberated, yet disturbed, by the decline in faith, some important writers sought to "improve" upon the myth of Jesus by re-constructing his historical life in imaginative presentations of various types. This paper is concerned with such works of fiction and prose drama, not poetry, poetic drama, or conventional biography. Ernest Renan's Life of Jesus, published in 1863, provided the impetus for fictional versions of the life by such writers of the early modern period as George Moore and Bernard Shaw; Moore's The Brook Kerith was a major influence on the writers of the next generation, including D.H.

  • Carrington, Dora (1893-1932) by Ray Anne Lockard
    Carrington, Dora (1893-1932) by Ray Anne Lockard Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Dora Carrington with Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Lytton Strachey. Dora de Houghton Carrington was an English painter, designer and decorative artist whose life and relationships were complex. She is best known for her deep attachment to the homosexual writer Lytton Strachey, but she had affairs with both men and women. Carrington painted only for her own pleasure, did not sign her works, and rarely exhibited them, hence she was not well known as a painter during her lifetime. Even though she was a founding member of the Omega Workshop with Roger Fry, her decorative art also remained unknown to the public until the late 1960s. Born in Hereford, England on March 29, 1893, Dora Carrington was the fourth child of Samuel Carrington and Charlotte Houghton. When Dora was ten years old the family moved to Bedford where she attended a girls' high school and took extra art classes. Seven years later, in 1910, Dora won a scholarship to the Slade School of Art in London where she studied with Henry Tonks and Fred Brown until 1914. During her years at Slade, the artist dropped her first name, becoming known simply as Carrington, and cut her hair into a bowl cut. She was a successful student at the Slade School and was awarded several prizes during her years there. When Carrington was eighteen she met Mark Gertler (1897-1939), a fellow artist who had the most influence on her early years.

    9 Public commentary on familiar themes The ‘herd instinct’ versus the individual Throughout this book, contemporary evidence has been the key to unlocking the emotions of the past – both private and public. Although some excerpts have appeared from the numerous books and memoirs generated by the war (and largely written after the event), comparatively little evidence has been cited from the wider contemporary sphere, the exception being the case of the Cambridge Magazine’s vocal support of Bertrand Russell as part of its balanced and humane view of the wider conflict. Now it is perhaps appropriate that some attention is drawn to contemporary newspapers and periodicals – jour- nalistic reactions fully exposed to public scrutiny and in contrast to the en- closed world of intimate diaries and letters. In summing up one of the main themes of humanistic and aesthetic opposi- tion to the Great War – the friction that existed between the structure of the war-state with its resultant ‘herd instinct’ and notions of the sacredness of the individual – there is perhaps no more apposite personal example than that of Gilbert Cannan, an individual who, like Bertrand Russell, specifically projected his concerns into the public sphere. Cannan was a friend of D.H. Lawrence (who, together with his wife, had moved to Buckinghamshire in August 1914 to be near Cannan and his wife Mary), and he saw himself as a defender of that which he described as ‘a man’s most precious possession’ – human dignity. He had first expounded on this theme in an article for the
