Re-forming world literature : Katherine Mansfield and the modernist short story / Gerri Kimber, Janet Wilson (eds.).

• UK and US modernisms -- Poetry, sufferring and the self -- Fairy stories and war.

• The ground-breaking essays gathered in this volume argue that global paradigms of world literature, often referencing the major metropolitan centres of cultural and literary production, do not always accommodate voices from the margins and writing within minority genres such as the short story. Katherine Mansfield is a supreme example of a writer who is positioned between a number of different borders and boundaries: between modernism and postcolonialism; between the short story and other genres; between Europe and New Zealand. In pointing to the global production and dissemination of short stories, and in particular the growing reception of Mansfield's work worldwide since her death in 1923, the volume shows how literary modernism can be read in a myriad of ways in terms of the contemporary category of new world literature.
