She began reading Chesterton's essays about Dickens in 1909, and became one of Modernism's greatest champions of Dickens.
Much has been written about Dickens' influence on Mansfield, and her affection for his works at a time that he had fallen out of favor with the modernists, starting with Edward Wagenknecht (1929) and found more recently in essays by Angela Smith (2011), Holly Furneaux (2014), Michael Holington (2015).
Books from her library are rare on the market, especially ones so influential to her writing. (Inventory #: 371481)
