概要

論文の詳細を見る
Both Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf played prominent roles in the development of British women's modernism. Although Mansfield and Woolf were attached to each other and they had much affinity, their friendship was uneasy, it was "almost entirely founded on quick-sand." Sometimes they had quarrels, became jealous, and hated each other. But in spite of all, they had something in common which could never be found in anyone else. In this study I will make an attempt to reconsider their friendship on the personal and professional level. First, I will explain their affinity and difference from a biographical point of view. Second, I will discuss how hostility was transformed into adoration. Third, I will discuss how they collaborated in making women's modernism. Finally, I would like to demonstrate how prolific and vital their friendship was in the male-dominated literary society of the 1920's.
