"I was jealous of her wrinting. The only wrinting I have ever been jealous of". Virginia Woolf. ; Virginia Woolf was not the only writer to admire Mansfield's work: Thomas Hardy, D. H. Lawrence, and Elizabeth Bowen all praised her stories, and her ealry death at the age of 34 cut short one of the finest short-story writers in the English language. This selection covers the full range of Mansfield's fiction, from her early satirical stories to the subtly nuanced comedy of "The Daugthers of the Late Colonel" and the macabre and ominous "A Married Man's Story". The stories that pay what Mansfield calls "a debt of love" to New Zealand are as sharply etched as the European stories, and she recreates her childhood world with mordant insight. Disruption is a constant theme, wether the tone is comic, tragic, nostalgic, or domestic, echoing Mansfield's disrupted life and the fractured expressions of Modernism. This new edition increases the selection from 27 to 33 stories and prints them in order in which they first appeared, in the defitive texts established by Anthony Alpers. -- 4ème de couverture.
