The Collected Poems of Katherine Mansfield

About this book

"This edition is made up of 217 poems, ordered chronologically, so that the reader can follow Mansfield's development as a poet and her experiments with different forms, as well as tracing the themes of love and death, the natural world and the seasons, childhood and friendship, music and song that preoccupied her throughout her writing life. The comprehensive annotations provide illuminating biographical information as well as explaining the rich contexts of the European poetic tradition, including fin-de-siècle decadence within which Mansfield's artistry is steeped." -- Provided by publisher.
