This fourth edition of Katherine Mansfield Studies, ‘Katherine Mansfield and the Fantastic’, will investigate an unexpectedly rich vein within her modernist and experimental prose. The editors welcome submissions that explore the fantastic in Mansfield’s work. Suggested topics might include (but are not limited to):
• Literary gothic motifs and tropes including twinning, mirroring, ghosting and metamorphoses in Mansfield’s work
• Mansfield developments of fairytale
• Mansfield’s exploration and expression/representation of the conscious and unconscious mind
• The grotesque in Mansfield
• Mansfield’s work in relation to that of contemporaries such as Charlotte Mew, Jean Rhys, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Virginia Woolf, May Sarton, Edith Wharton, Henry James and James Joyce, which reveal uses of the fantastic, haunting and the gothic
• Connections with later writers who also use the fantastic, mythic and literary gothic such as New Zealanders Keri Hulme, Janet Frame and Patricia Grace
• Mansfield and the Uncanny
• Mansfield and Postmodernism
The Guest Editor for this Volume will be Professor Gina Wisker from the University of Brighton, together with co-editors Dr Gerri Kimber and Dr Sue Reid.
