| Summary: | Eighty-eight modernist short stories from the New Zealand author, Kathleen Mansfield Murry, published under her pen name. She was recognized as innovative, accessible, and psychologically acute, one of the pioneers of the avant-garde in the creation of the short story. Her language was clear and precise; her emotion and reaction to experience carefully distilled and resonant. Her use of image and symbol were sharp, suggestive, and new without seeming forced or written to some preconceived formula. |
