    Although Katherine Mansfield was closely associated with D.H. Lawrence, and a rival of Virginia Woolf, her stories suggest someone writing in a different era and in a vastly different English. Her language is clean and her characters, both men and women, are swaddled in English reserve. Mansfield's genius is to pinpoint those unacknowledged and imperceptible moments in which those people's relationships—with one another and themselves—change forever.

    This collection has a new introduction by Jeffrey Meyers.
    Born in New Zealand in 1888, Katherine Mansfield Beauchamp was primarily a writer of short stories. She published Prelude and The Garden Party and Other Stories before her premature death from TB in 1923. Something Childish and her journal and letters were published posthumously.

    "We to her the prosperity of the 'free' story: she untrammeled it from conventions and, still more, gained for it a prestige till then unthought of. How much ground Katherine Mansfield broke for her successors may not be realized. Her imagination kindled unlikely matter; she was to alter for good and all our idea of what goes to make a story." -- Elizabeth Bowen
