His personal encounters with them during his time of involvement in the production of the Athenaeum is reflected not only in his incisive reviews of their fiction, but in his own creative writing as well. His short stories and experimental memoir, Ushant, (1963) reveal the two women's differing forms of influence upon him. In his memoir, he portrays the relations between Woolf and Mansfield as representative of the ‘merciless warfare’ that prevailed in the London literary world in 1920. If his creative legacy from Woolf was stylistic and psychological, from Mansfield it was inspirational. He was in love with the spontaneity and life-enhancing vitality of her prose, her ‘genius’ for making her characters ‘real.’ The sense of an intuitive connection between himself and Mansfield underpins his imaginative efforts to recreate his encounters with her, as is exemplified most powerfully in his short story: ‘Your Obituary, Well Written,’ (1928) in which he creates a thinly veiled portrait of characters uncannily similar to Katherine Mansfield and John Middleton Murry.","PeriodicalId":284953,"journal":{"name":"Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116454336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Woolf attributed their rapport to Mansfield’s ‘caring so genuinely if so differently from the way I care about our precious art’. Perhaps only in death could Woolf finally agree to the less equivocal version of their relationship that Mansfield had put to her years before: ‘We have got the same job, Virginia, & it is really very curious & thrilling that we should both, quite apart from each other, be after so very nearly the same thing. We are you know; there’s no denying it.’\u0000One can feel no need to deny it and yet still wonder what that ‘something in common’ actually was and why Woolf, given her extensive and varied circle of family and friends, felt so inconsolable upon the loss – not simply the diminishment – of it. This essay is motivated by that wonder. It explores the artistic affinity that brought Mansfield and Woolf together in a unique literary rapport but also insists on the differences – especially in their attitudes towards time as a fulfiller or thwarter of human hopes – that ultimately set them apart in their representations of ‘Life’.","PeriodicalId":284953,"journal":{"name":"Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121893550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
