Abstract
In 2012, for the first time, a fully annotated two-volume collection of all of Mansfield’s extant fiction writing was published.2 Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of this edition is that it permits us to see — for the first time — the genesis of Mansfield the writer. We can watch her development, and see germs of ideas, first drafts, tentative beginnings, transformed into some of her most recognisable and important works.
One part of the section ‘Mansfield in Detail’ was first published in the special issue, New Zealand’s Cultures, of the Journal of New Zealand Literature, 31: 2, 2013, pp. 122–44, in the article ‘Reconfiguring the National Canon’, by Gerri Kimber and Janet Wilson.
