Short Stories
Katherine Mansfield is one of the greatest names in world literature in the genre of short stories. Early influenced by the impressionism of Russian writer Anton Chekhov, Mansfield developed her own modernist narrative style that has had a significant influence on all subsequent short story art. Her stories are driven by psychological conflicts, depicted with a subtlety and a poetic skewness that give them a life beyond the conventions of language. This book collects no fewer than 75 of Mansfield’s short stories.
KATHERINE MANSFIELD, actually Kathleen Mansfield Beauchamp (later Murry), was born in 1888 in Wellington, New Zealand, and died in 1923 as a result of her pulmonary tuberculosis at a hospital near Fontainebleau, France. Mansfield left her homeland at the age of 19 and moved to Europe. In London, she established herself as a writer and became friends with Virginia Woolf and D.H. Lawrence. Rumour has it that the latter infected her with the lung disease that became her demise, at the young age of 35.
