Poems of Katherine Mansfield
Poems of Katherine Mansfield | Katherine Mansfield
2 posts
Though best known for her short stories, Katherine Mansfield was also an accomplished poet. The only edition of her poems, published in the 1920s, has long been out of print, and her poetry is known today only through a handful of anthology entries. This book presents a fresh selection of Mansfield's verse, including all of her published poetry and a number of unpublished and uncollected pieces. O'Sullivan's introduction, which relates Mansfield's poetry to her prose and sets it within the larger literary context of her time, presents the poetry in a completely new light. He demonstrates that she was innovative to a degree that has never before been recognized.

CarolynM 😂😣 That's laughing and cringing at the same time. I guess we have to make allowances for Katherine Mansfield 's time. (edited) 5y
erzascarletbookgasm True, @CarolynM I wasn‘t sure whether I should share this poem but like you said, times were different then. Just like if I read some of Enid Blyton books today, I‘ll cringe too. 😣 5y
CarolynM There's a short Banjo Patterson poem called Frying Pan's theology which I learnt as a child and still like even though it perpetrates a horrible stereotype. I like to think we can appreciate literature from the past while recognizing the shortcomings of the society it came from. No doubt the future will have similar problems with some of our attitudes and language. 5y
