    Linda Burnell dreams, listless and distant, whilst downstairs her mother sets in order the family’s new home in the New Zealand countryside. Her vigorous and exhausting husband, Stanley, is at the office, but will return with eager and admiring eyes. Her children prepare lunch on a concrete step and her sister sings love songs to an imaginary young man. This is The Aloe, which Katherine Mansfield wrote to crystallise the memories of her childhood. It was reworked to become her acclaimed Prelude. But the original is very different in style, detail and texture giving us a wonderful short novel in its own right. The text has been prepared by Vincent O’Sullivan, the renowned Mansfield scholar, and the book has been presented in the classic green livery, with exquisite line drawing, which are the hallmarks of the Capuchin Classics.

    The foreword is by acclaimed NZ author and KMS member Kirsty Gunn.

    "We may have thought that pretty much everything had been garnered about that tangled triangle of D.H. Lawrence, Katherine Mansfield, and Middleton Murry. Not so. After Kaplan, one is looking freshly, more deeply, at how these extraordinary personalities circled and feinted, landed their punches and reconciled. Most surprisingly, she makes her case for restoring Murry to his rightful place in that trio, free from the condescension that has obscured him for generations. Mansfield and Lawrence too emerge in an engagingly new light. What Kaplan does is to present a key moment in British Modernism as a vivid, living, personal exchange. This is good storytelling, as much as fine scholarship".

     - Vincent O'Sullivan, Victoria University, Wellington, co-editor 'The Collected Letters of Katherine Mansfield'

    Katherine Mansfield and the Modernist Marketplace: At the Mercy of the Public

    by Jenny McDonnell

    (Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan, 2010)
    ISBN: 978-0230234796, 232 pages
    Release date: 4 August 2010

    Katherine Mansfield and the Modernist Marketplace provides the first comprehensive study of Mansfield's career as a professional writer in a commercial literary world, during the years that saw the emergence and consolidation of literary modernism in Britain. It draws on recent critical trends in the field of material modernist studies to posit a new reading of her stories and their location within a modernist marketplace. Mansfield's association with periodicals such as the New Age, Rhythm and the Athenaeum, and with the Hogarth Press, are illustrative of her use of key modes that aided the development and dissemination of modernist texts between the years 1910 and 1922. At the same time, she took increasing advantage of popular publishing in illustrated newspapers and magazines.  The book argues that these publishing contexts shaped Mansfield's development as a writer, and presents a new interpretation of her stories' enactment of a commercially viable modernist aesthetic.

    'This important new study on Katherine Mansfield, although of interest to the widely-read Mansfield scholar, will also have broad appeal to the non-specialist, offering an excellent introduction – aided by its chronological ordering – to Mansfield's life and short story output.' - Gerri Kimber, Associate Lecturer, The Open University, UK
