Maria DiBattista answers this by undertaking an experiment in critical biography.

Katherine Mansfield: A Literary Life
ISBN: 9780333618783 / Angielski / Miękka / 171 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In a letter, Katherine Mansfield writes: 'I hate the sort of licence that English people give themselves - to spread over and flop and roll about. I feel as fastidious as though I write with acid'. This book explores Mansfield's idiosyncratic aesthetic by focusing on her position as an outsider in Britain: a New-Zealander, a woman writer, a Fuavist, and eventually a consumptive. Her sharp-edged fiction is discussed in relation to her involvement with Post-Impressionist painting and painters.
