Abstract
ABSTRACT The personal and professional affinities between Virginia Woolf and Katherine Mansfield have been the subject of many studies, one of the most pertinent modes being the examination of how their creativity responded to illness and suffering. By imagining and mastering psychic fragmentation in fiction, Virginia Woolf restored form and value to herself. According to research into inter-hemispheric processing, the same effect can be achieved when readers respond to a text. In a different way, but still relating to creativity and the perception of suffering, Katherine Mansfield speaks about her “two kick offs” in the writing game. The experience of these two writers shows how narrative and literature helped them to deal better with their health conditions.
