Henry Green was the pen name of Henry Yorke, a well-regarded novelist working in the mid-twentieth century. Living in London, Yorke worked much of his life as a businessman for his family’s engineering firm. He published nine novels between 1926 and 1952. In the later part of his life he was affected by worsening alcoholism, and became increasingly housebound. He died in 1973. Born to a family with aristocratic connections, Green was educated at Eton, which he described as ‘a humane concentration camp’, and Oxford, where he was a contemporary of Evelyn Waugh and Anthony Powell and where he published his first novel. Blindness (1926) examines the effects of a blinding injury on a young man’s development into an artist. In 1929 Green married Mary Adelaide (‘Dig’) Biddulph. Most of Green’s novels draw on autobiographical experience. Living (1929), a depiction of factory life in the English Midlands, is informed by a period Green spent working on the factory floor of the family firm. Caught (1943) makes use of his work with the London Fire Service. Although Green’s early writing dealt with similar subjects to his contemporaries’ (working-class life, the threat of war), it did so in distinctive ways. Living and Party Going (1939) employ an unusual syntax, in which grammatical articles are used sparingly if at all. The prominent use of gerunds (‘doting’, ‘loving’) is a noticeable Green trait.

Katherine Mansfield and Literary Influence seeks to understand influence, a powerful yet mysterious and undertheorised impetus for artistic production, by exploring Katherine Mansfield’s wide net of literary associations. Mansfield’s case proves that influence is careless of chronologies, spatial limits, artistic movements and cultural differences. Expanding upon theories of influence that focus on anxiety and coteries, this book demonstrates that it is as often unconscious as it is conscious, and can register as satire, yearning, copying, homage and resentment. This book maps the ecologies of Mansfield’s influences beyond her modernist and postcolonial contexts, observing that it roams wildly over six centuries, across three continents and beyond cultural and linguistic boundaries. Katherine Mansfield and Literary Influence identifies Mansfield’s involvement in six modes of literary influence - Ambivalence, Exchange, Identification, Imitation, Enchantment and Legacy. In so doing, it revisits key issues in Mansfield studies, including her relationships with Virginia Woolf, John Middleton Murry and S. S. Koteliansky, as well as the famous plagiarism case regarding Anton Chekhov. It also charts new territories for exploration, expanding the terrain of Mansfield's influence to include writers as diverse as Colette, Evelyn Waugh, Nettie Palmer, Eve Langley and Frank Sargeson.

Las obras de ficción poseen en su constitución artística estructuras que articulan el mundo posible que en ellas se desarrolla y las interacciones de los personajes entre sí y con el mundo en el que habitan. Estas estructuras articulatorias de los mundos posibles, mediante procesos miméticos, emulan patrones existentes en la realidad efectiva, haciendo que los mundos ficcionales sean verosímiles, reconocibles y significativos para el receptor. En este artículo nos detenemos a examinar las estructuras que responden a categorías éticas, estéticas y religiosas y analizamos la presencia o ausencia de estas en las transducciones intersemióticas televisiva y cinematográfica de la obra literaria Brideshead Revisited, de Evelyn Waugh y comprobamos de qué modo la estructura de orden general del protomundo se ve afectada en el proceso de transmodalización al respetar o prescindir de estas estructuras articulatorias.
