Explores the multiple ways in which Mansfield’s fiction resonates with the landscapes opened up by psychology and psychoanalysisIn line with the recent surge of critical interest in early psychology, the contributors read Mansfield’s work alongside figures like William James and Henri Bergson, opening up new perspectives on affect in her work.
