The Fiction of Katherine Mansfield

A foremost practitioner of English short-story writing, the wife of John Middleton Murry, and a gifted writer of rare psychological insight, Katherine Mansfield achieved literary distinction which still inspires critical interest nearly fifty years after her death in 1923 at the age of thirty-five. The continuing vitality of her writing and the depth of her insight into the human condition is here brilliantly assessed by Marvin Magalaner.
