Perhaps, most of all, the reader will find here wide-ranging reflections on the immense power of the short story in her ingenious hands. -- Elleke Boehmer FRSL, Professor of World Literature in English, University of Oxford, UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Bloomsbury Handbook to Katherine Mansfield\u003c\/i\u003e is an outstanding contribution to Katherine Mansfield studies.
