KATHLEEN
JONES AND GERRI KIMBER IN CONVERSATION:
12:00pm
| Sunday 17 March 2013
Two
experts on Katherine Mansfield look at the life and legacy of the writer on the
90th anniversary of her death. Mansfield was one of the 20th century’s most
accomplished short story writers and counted D H Lawrence and Virginia Woolf
among her close friends. Among her best-known stories are The Garden
Party, The Daughters of the Late Colonel and The Fly. She died
at the age of 34 after contracting tuberculosis.
Dr
Gerri Kimber has co-edited The Collected Fiction of Katherine Mansfield
to coincide with the anniversary. It is the first truly complete collection of
Mansfield’s stories. Gerri Kimber is a senior lecturer at the University of
Northampton and co-editor of the journal, Katherine Mansfield Studies.
Kathleen Jones is a biographer and poet. Her most recent biography is
Katherine Mansfield: The Story-Teller.
