Katherine Mansfield and the Art of the Short Story

Abstract

List of Tables Volume 1-'Fairy' Volume 2-'Fairy' 'Little lamp' 'Stories with Maori references' alongside, and indeed ahead of her contemporaries. With Gerri Kimber's work in hand, and an understanding of the vast tradition of short-story telling leading from the folktales and customs of the pre-print past through to the dazzling flashes of modernist experimentation, Katherine Mansfield emerges as one of the essential figures leading to full literary recognition and international honours for individual writers, and their art.
