About this title

Review

`admirable edition ... an important contribution to the Clarendon Press editions of literary correspondence. The editorial machinery is helpful without being obtrusive: Vincent O'Sullivan's introductions and notes are sensitive, well-informed, and illuminating, and Margaret Scott has grappled heroically with the transcription of Katherine Mansfield's handwriting' Karina Williamson, St Hilda's College, Oxford. Notes and Queries ` a new, far more complete, and most painstakingly edited and annotated collection of her letters ... Her wit permeates the whole volume deliciously.' The Daily Telegraph `Elegantly produced, excellently annotated and remarkably cheap ... a fine addition to the series of lettes which Oxford has been issuing in recent years.' Literary Review
