The Private Life of Katherine Mansfield
[AS the reading public the right to know the intimate details of the personal life and thoughts of the writers whose books they read? For years there has been, to say the least, spirited discussion on this question as it relates to Katherine Mansfield-dis-cussion which flared up again when her love letters to John Middleton Murry were published not long ago. In a talk — which he wrote for the NZBS, William Hart-Smith says he thinks these letters should have been published just as they were written. Her life "belongs to all of us. Her life as a person, more than, her life as a writer, is terribly important to us, and we must learn all we can about it." Mr. Hart-Smith himself attempts to answer some of the questions her life poses. Read by William Austin, and illustrated with extracts from the letters read by Molly Donald, this programme | will be heard from 2YC at 8.0 p.m. on Tuesday, March 25, and from 3YC at 9.30 p.m. on Saturday; March 29. Another new programme about Katherine Mansfield will be heard from 3YC at
7.34 p.m. on Wednesday, March 26, when Helen Shaw reviews Sylvia Berk. man’s new critical study.
