CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THE INAUGURAL ISSUE OF
KATHERINE MANSFIELD STUDIES,
(THE PEER-REVIEWED JOURNAL OF THE KATHERINE MANSFIELD SOCIETY)

Special first issue on the theme of  
‘Katherine Mansfield and Continental Europe'

Following on from the success of the international  conference held on Mansfield in 2008, based on the centenary of Katherine Mansfield's arrival in London, the first issue of the peer-reviewed journal of the recently created Katherine Mansfield Society, Katherine Mansfield Studies,  is now calling for submissions for its special issue ‘Katherine Mansfield and Continental Europe'.

Submissions are sought on the following:

  • On the theme of the special issue ‘Katherine Mansfield and Continental Europe'
  • Creative pieces – poetry and prose on Katherine Mansfield
  • Book reviews of recently published books on Katherine Mansfield

Further details:

Mansfield travelled extensively in continental Europe during her lifetime. Nearly four years of her short adult life were spent there – in Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland and Belgium. Many of her stories were written abroad, many have continental themes and/or European settings. As a writer, she has also received huge critical acclaim in many European countries – far more than in her homeland of New Zealand or her adopted adult homeland, England.

The following is a list of topics which may provide inspiration, though the list is by no means exhaustive:

  • Mansfield and In a German Pension
  • Mansfield and her sojourn in Bavaria
  • Mansfield's critical reception in Germany
  • Mansfield and her ‘love/hate' relationship with France
  • Mansfield and the French Symbolists
  • Mansfield as travelling tourist
  • Mansfield and the First World War
  • Mansfield's critical reception in France
  • Mansfield and her  Russian obsession
  • Mansfield and Chekhov
  • Mansfield's reception in Eastern Europe
  • Mansfield's relationship with Floryan Sobienowski
