Abstract:
This chapter will investigate the influence of Colette on the life and fiction writing of Katherine Mansfield. Just as she was famously influenced by Chekhov, I contend she was no less influenced by Colette, whose risqué life had particular appeal for the reckless, youthful Mansfield. The French writer would go on to become another protagonist in the saga of Mansfield’s emotional connection with France, and, on a literary level, Colette’s influence would extend throughout Mansfield’s adult writing career. Having been the first critic to offer a detailed appraisal of the influence of Colette’s book L’Envers du music-hall (Music Hall Sidelights) on Mansfield’s own writing, I shall now reveal examples of echoes and resonances in Mansfield’s fiction to other works by Colette.
