Скачать или смотреть The paper knife: Patrick White and Katherine Mansfield

In this talk, Oliver Stead, Curator, Drawings, Paintings and Prints at the Alexander Turnbull Library, discusses the influence of Katherine Mansfield on the Australian writer, Patrick White. Although he was born in the UK, White grew up in Australia where he became a renowned novelist and playwright — the only Australian to have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.

In 1961 White visited the Alexander Turnbull Library where an unusual link between White and Katherine Mansfield was first revealed. While visiting the Library, he also donated a silver and greenstone paper-knife that had belonged to Katherine Mansfield.
