The Edinburgh Edition of the Collected Letters of Katherine Mansfield, Volume 4: Letters to John Middleton Murry 19191923

Following the 4-volume Edinburgh Edition of the Collected Works of Katherine Mansfield published from 2012-16, comes a new and authoritative edition of Katherine Mansfield’s letters which incorporates the new material which has come to light, both by way of newly discovered letters as well as important biographical information. Gerri Kimber and Claire Davison have returned to the original letters, re-transcribed and fully annotated them, taking into account the huge volume of recent Mansfield scholarship unavailable to previous editors of the letters. Innovatively grouped by recipient, this edition allows the reader to trace Mansfield’s individual relationships via her letters. Mansfield’s concern in her letters with exile and emigration, intimacy and betrayal, the traumas of war and disease, nature and the environment, and fashions and food, are fully appraised in this new edition for twenty-first century scholars and readers.

Claire Davison is Professor of Modernist Studies at the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris.

Gerri Kimber is Visiting Professor in the Department of English at the University of Northampton. She is co-editor of Katherine Mansfield Studies, and the author of Katherine Mansfield: A Hidden Life (2025), Katherine Mansfield – The Early Years (2016), Katherine Mansfield and the Art of the Short Story (2015), and Katherine Mansfield: The View from France (2008). She is the Series Editor of the 4-volume Edinburgh Edition of the Collected Works of Katherine Mansfield (2012–16). Together with Claire Davison, she has edited the 4-volume edition of Katherine Mansfield’s complete letters for EUP (2020–25).
