Abstract:
"Fortunately, Katherine Mansfield has had several excellent biographers - Antony Alpers, Jeffrey Meyers, and Claire Tomalin immediately come to mind - but a great deal remains to be said about the nature of Mansfield's writing. This book attempts to analyze a major part of her fiction, concentrating on an analysis of the various textures, themes, and issues, plus the point of view virtuosity that she accomplished in her short lifetime (34 years). Many of her most famous works, such as "Prelude," "Bliss," "Germans at Meat," "The Girl Who Was Tired," "The Women at the Store" and "The Garden Party," are explicated, along with many of her less famous and unfinished stories. The book begins with a biographical issue - why KM had an almost pathological need to move her location - then proffers a critical basis for studying her works, and makes a volume-by-volume study of this work. The conclusion gives quite specific comparisons between Mansfield stories and stories of her contemporaries, such as D.H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, Elizabeth Bowen and several other writers."--BOOK JACKET.
