Praised as one of the best biographies of the 20th century, Claire Tomalin's Katherine Mansfield: A Secret Life brought the full power of her celebrated biographical craft to bear on New Zealand's greatest short story writer. Allowed to examine letters not available to previous biographers, Tomalin adds new dimensions to Mansfield's relationships with Ida Baker, Virginia Woolf and D.H. Lawrence, and addresses the consequences of the gonorrhea she contracted in 1909. Tomalin went on to write acclaimed biographies of Samuel Pepys, Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy. This Viking hardcover first edition is the most collectible format of one of the most celebrated Mansfield biographies.
