Works - "To Stanislaw Wyspianski," (1910). Signed manuscript poem by Katherine Mansfield with a printed transcription of both the poem and "A Letter By Walter M. Hill" (1938). 2 items. Boxed.
Scope and Content of the Collection
The collection consists mainly of correspondence concerning the handling of Mansfield's literary estate after her death on January 9, 1923. The bulk of the letters, written by her husband John Middleton Murry to her agent James B. Pinker, concern the publishing of newly found work, reissuing of published work, discussions of royalties, and permissions for translations. In addition there are miscellaneous letters from and to translators and publishers regarding her work. There are also two manuscript works of Mansfield's: a single poem, "To Stanislaus Wyspianski," and a collection of poems, "The Earth Child," accompanied by two short letters signed by Mansfield. "The Earth Child" contains thirty-six poems dating from 1909-1910 when Mansfield was twenty-two. Many of these poems, which Mansfield sent to her publisher, Elkin Matthews, were never published.
