Although Katherine Mansfield was closely associated with D.H. Lawrence, and a rival of Virginia Woolf, her stories suggest someone writing in a different era and in a vastly different English. Her language is clean and her characters, both men and women, are swaddled in English reserve. Mansfield's genius is to pinpoint those unacknowledged and imperceptible moments in which those people's relationships—with one another and themselves—change forever.

This collection has a new introduction by Jeffrey Meyers.
