With Joyce, Chekhov and Hemingway, Katherine Mansfield (1888-1923) played a crucial role in defining and setting the standard for excellence in short fiction. Organizing Mansfield's entire story canon according to her most important thematic concerns - such as male/female conflicts - Kobler offers original interpretations of some of Mansfield's most significant stories, and provides a theoretical basis for understanding both her innovations in narration and the enduring relevance of her achievement. He presents Mansfield's comments on her craft, and includes reprints of influential Mansfield criticism.
