Virginia Woolf claimed that Mansfield’s writing was ‘The only writing I have ever been jealous of.’ Widely considered one of the best short-story writers of her period, Katherine Mansfield’s stories are celebrated for their sensitive subtlety in the treatment of human behaviour. Satirical, psychologically deep, unabashed and candid about sex, pregnancy and social issues, her stories adopted a fresh style and new narrative techniques, her influences including Chekov, Impressionism and the cinema. She drew on and evoked the New Zealand landscape from her childhood, as well as her travels in Europe and literary circles in England. This is a complete collection of her finished stories taken from her five books: Bliss, The Garden Party, The Doves’ Nest, Something Childish and In a German Pension.
