Katherine Mansfield and Translation Katherine Mansfield Katherine Mansfield Studies, Volume 7 K a Attracting the interest of scholars of modernism and readers of Mansfield alike, t and Translation h Katherine Mansfield Studies offers fresh critical insights and new work e by distinguished writers. r i n Fantastic and Gothic readings of Mansfield’s short stories e M present us with a covert, darker world, alongside seemingly familiar actions and events. a n s This volume investigates an unexpectedly rich vein of literary gothic motifs and tropes fi e found within Mansfield’s modernist, experimental prose. The essays investigate her l development of the fairytale in several stories discloses how the ‘Cinderella’ story d underpins ‘Her First Ball’, how ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ lurks beneath ‘The Little a n Governess’, and how the figure of the changeling inhabits ‘A Suburban Fairy Tale’. d Mansfield’s explorations of the conscious and unconscious mind are elucidated T through a discussion of Freud’s theory of the uncanny and the unsettling effects r of language in Mansfield’s In A German Pension stories. Finally, the term ‘charm’ a is revealed as spanning the two extremes of the fantastic and the ordinary which n s combine in Mansfield’s evocations of the enchantment of domestic interiors. l a t Delia da Sousa Correa is Senior Lecturer in English at the Open University.
