Katherine Mansfield

Available for over a year

Katherine Mansfield was the only writer Virginia Woolf admitted being jealous of, yet by the 1950s was so undervalued that Elizabeth Bowen was moved to ask, 'Where is she - our missing contemporary?' Mansfield died one hundred years ago this month, aged just 34 years old, and in this programme Chris Power explores her turbulent life, and legacy, through her innovative contribution to Modernism and the short story. Chris is joined by Claire Harman, author of a new biography, All Sorts of Lives, which takes a fresh look at Mansfield's life through ten of her most pivotal stories, the short-story writer and novelist Lucy Caldwell and Dr Chris Mourant.
