Description
The first volume of this edition of Katherine Mansfield's letters, correspondents A-J, is heavily weighted towards the Beauchamp family and several of her closest friends. This second volume, quite by chance, puts the emphasis far more on Mansfield's literary and intellectual friendships especially members of the Bloomsbury group. It includes letters to Sylvia Lynd, the Hon. Bertrand Russell, Sydney and Violet Schiff, Lytton Strachey, Leonard Woolf, Virginia Woolf and Hugh Walpole, as well as those individuals who gathered around Lady Ottoline Morrell (herself the recipient of one of the largest number of letters in this volume) at Garsington Manor.
With over twenty new letters not published in previous editions of her letters, as well substantial revisions and additions to a number of other letters, accompanied by thoroughly researched annotations, this volume offers many new insights into Mansfield's epistolary relationships.

Reviews / Votes
This meticulously edited second volume of the Edinburgh Collected Letters gives us Mansfield the writer, artist and editor in her experimental prime, reflecting on her work in innovative ways that expand and deepen our sense of her oeuvre. The clustered arrangement, embracing some of the key figures in her writing life, including Ottoline Morrell, Anne Estelle Rice and Virginia Woolf, shows the leading modernist honing her self-awareness as a writer, contributing in vital ways to developing some of the techniques and ideas now understood to be signatures of modernism - rhythm, ellipsis, the porous self and the moment in time. -- Elleke Boehmer, University of OxfordMore details
