The Garden Party, and Other Stories (Annotated)
Katherine Mansfield
Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The Garden Party, and Other Stories by Katherine Mansfield. Written during the final stages of her illness, "The Garden Party and Other Stories" is filled with a sense of urgency and was the last Katherine Mansfield collection to be published during her lifetime. The fifteen stories presented, many of them set in his native New Zealand, vary in length and tone from the opening story, "At the Bay," a vivid Impressionist evocation of family life, to the short, sharp sketch "Mrs. Brill, "in which a lonely woman's precarious sense of self is brutally destroyed when she hears two young lovers taunting her. Sensitive revelations of human behavior, these stories reveal Mansfield's supreme talent as an innovator who liberated history from its conventions and gave it new strength and prestige. Katherine Mansfield is the pseudonym used by Kathleen Beauchamp (Wellington, New Zealand, October 14, 1888 - Fontainebleau, France, January 9, 1923), a leading Modernist writer of New Zealand origin. Kathleen Bowden Murray was born as Kathleen Beauchamp on October 14, 1888 to a socially prominent family of colonial origin in Wellington, New Zealand. I lived with his parents, two sisters, a grandmother, and two teenage aunts.
