Mansfield’s many stays in France were decisive in intellectual, personal and psychological terms: discovering ‘Murry’s Paris’ and the Left Bank; escaping to the War Zone to join Francis Carco; living as a civilian in wartime during the bombardments of Paris; travelling and finding lodgings as a single woman in war-ravaged towns; the experience of bereavement and debilitating ill-health abroad; and the joys and pitfalls for an outsider of a foreign land and idiom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIllustrations  Acknowledgements  Abbreviations  Introduction  Part One: Mansfield in France  Sydney Janet Kaplan Mansfield and Murry’s Sojourns in France: A Bi-National Quarrel  Louise Edensor Un profession de foi pour toujours: Katherine Mansfield and Beatrice Hastings in France  Galya Diment Katherine Mansfield’s Russian Healers  Gilles Freyssinet Francis Carco: The Poet of ‘Paname’  Part Two: Literary Representations of France  W.
