Mansfield, Rhythm and the Emigre Connection

This first detailed overview of the genesis of the little magazine Rhythm and Katherine Mansfield’s involvement highlights the émigré creative input into the magazine and considers John Middleton Murry’s and Mansfield’s own contributions, which frequently took French/émigré subjects as their theme. Rhythm could be described as having a transnational identity, with a plethora of international correspondents publicising the new movement of the avant-garde. The volume, which I co-edited, consists of the proceedings of an international conference on Mansfield held at Birkbeck, University of London in 2008 which I initiated and co-convened, and it is part of the new impetus in Mansfield studies.
