«Bliss and Other Stories» is Katherine Mansfield's collection of modernist short stories, in paperback from Editorial Maxtor (236 pages, in English).
The story that gives the volume its title portrays Bertha Young, a woman who believes herself happy, during a dinner party with her husband and friends; the evening makes her naivety about those around her evident. Mansfield uses the scene to explore deception, self-knowledge and the possibility of homosexuality in early twentieth-century society.
The story «Bliss» was first published in 1918 in The English Review. The original collection appeared in 1920. This edition belongs to the Maxtor Classics series, no. 30.
For readers of classic short stories and early twentieth-century English modernist fiction, as well as for those who want to approach the work of Katherine Mansfield.
Kathleen Mansfield Murry was a New Zealand writer and critic who was an important figure in the modernist movement. Her works are celebrated across the world and have been published in 25 languages.
