Version: Accepted version Official URL: http://learn.cengage.com/GaleResearcher NECTARhttp://nectar.northampton.ac.uk/8934/ Katherine Mansfield’s Modernist Short Stories Gerri Kimber University of Northampton Department of English and Creative Writing Gerri Kimber is coeditor of the annual yearbook Katherine Mansfield Studies and chair of the Katherine Mansfield Society. She is the series editor of the four-volume Edinburgh Edition of the Collected Works of Katherine Mansfield (2012–2016). Kimber is author of Katherine Mansfield: The Early Years (2016), Katherine Mansfield and the Art of the Short Story (2015), and Katherine Mansfield: The View from France (2008). Katherine Mansfield employed free indirect discourse, literary impressionism, and the innovative use of time and symbolism, culminating in her position as one of the most important early exponents of the modernist short story. Mansfield’s fiction—and literary modernism as a whole—is associated with a rejection of conventional plot structure and dramatic action in favor of the presentation of character through narrative voice. Many different influences converged to create Mansfield’s own personal aesthetic philosophy, which continually evolved and developed throughout her short lifetime. She presents a down- to-earth kind of “truth,” with its foundations in her observations of the everyday world.

    International Journal of Science Vol.5 No.1 2018 ISSN: 1813-4890 Representation of Modernism in Mansfield’s Short Stories Jialing Ding Nantong University, Nantong 226001, China [email protected] Abstract The modernist thought itself has a very complex background. Strictly speaking, modernism is not a genre, but a literary trend that is revealed in many modernist creative fictions. Kathrine Mansfield’s works have this unique feature. She uses modernist techniques in her short stories very skillfully and tactfully. The aim of the thesis is to explore representative modernist techniques in Mansfield’s short stories. Through the research, I want to prove that she is an innovator of English short stories. The thesis mainly discusses stream of consciousness in Mansfield’s short stories which includes association, time and space montage and illusion. The thesis also analyses symbols in her representative short stories and different perspectives of narration in her works. I sincerely hope that readers can understand her works better through my efforts. Undoubtedly, Mansfield opens up a path to a higher literary standard. Keywords Mansfield; modernism; stream of consciousness; symbolism; perspectives of narration. 1. Introduction Katherine Mansfield(1888-1923) is a splendid English short story writer in the early 20th century. In order to get a better development, Mansfield gave up her pleasant and affluent life.

A Dill Pickle is one of her short stories published in 1917, describing the encounter between a young woman and a young man who have been lovers six years ago and their lost love and changes over the years. Short as it is, it is really worth our carful analysis and appreciation.

  • Chapter 2 MANSFIELD's SELECTED WORKS: THEMES and LITERARY
    17 Chapter 2 MANSFIELD’S SELECTED WORKS: THEMES AND LITERARY TECHNIQUES Even though Katherine Mansfield’s literary career began almost a century ago, her works seem to find no end in the literary world. Each of her stories presents experiences, feelings, and thoughts with which people of all ages can share. However, influences of her time can be found: new ways in presenting arts, Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis, the revolt against class distinction and her contemporary feeling of uncertainty in modern world (McRae and Carter, 2000 : vii, xi). These contribute to her themes and sophisticated techniques, especially her unconventional plotlines, as well as her language style which evokes senses, probes human psyche, creates realism, and encourages readers to fill in the unsaid parts. To give a background on the nine selected works by Mansfield, their themes and literary techniques will be investigated. Themes Mansfield’s literary life developed during her living in London. After moving to London in 1908, she participated in discussions with prominent literary figures such as D.H. Laurence and Virginia Woolf on “socialism, feminism, woman suffrage and Freudian psychology,” and produced her own works (Phillimore, 1989 : 21). Like those writers, she critically observed the ideas of post- Victorian Era (Phillimore, 1989 : 8) and paid special attention to human interactions and psychological exploration. The major themes of her works include initiation, isolation and loneliness, class distinction, hardship of the poor, and human instincts. All of them related to both the contemporary Zeitgeist as well as her own experience. The most important movement during her literary career was Modernism, which was characterized by a negative reaction against optimism, positivism, and 17 18 certainty in Victorian and Edwardian Eras.

  • A Study on the Female Characters' Experience of Illusions And
    ABSTR A CT This thesis emphasizes upon the study on the experience of illusions and disillusionment as seen on the characters, conflicts, and settings in some stories by Katherine Mansfield. In her stories that will be analyzed - "The Garden Party", "Her First Ball", "Bliss" and "Miss Brill"-, she conveys the experience of female human being whose pleasant but mistaken beliefs are destroyed. It is interesting to analyze the theme of disillusionment in these stories since it reveals the nature of human be ings, which tend to be easily deluded by the pleasant situation. However, when they are brought back into the reality, they feel disappointed. Katherine Mansfield expresses the experience of disillusionment in the story by giving significant characteristic on the female characters. As the main characters, Laura, Leila, Bertha Young and Miss Brill are characterized as innocent women who know nothing of evil and wrong. Moreover, they are also easily deluded by the pleasant situation in which they exist. By this kind of characteristic, they are easily led into the experience of disillusionment. Besides their innocent characteristic, the main female characters also experience incidents which are involving the other characters. The incidents between the female characters and the antagonists are actually incidents, which lead the female characters into disillusionment. As the female characters lives in their pleasant but mistaken illusion, the antagonists oppose them by revealing the reality to them either directly or indirectly. Through the incidents, Laura and Leila as young girls are able to see the reality of the outer world while Bertha Young and Miss Brill are forced to see the reality of their existence.

Embora Mansfield e Carey pertençam a duas épocas; modernos e pós-modernos, mas apresentam o conceito de alienação social e incompletude das necessidades humanas básicas de maneira semelhante. Seus esboços de personagens de Miss Brill e Shepherd de 3ª classe relacionam a alienação com a falta de amor e pertencimento, por um lado, enquanto a auto-estima e os desafios das atitudes capitalistas, metrópoles e industriais, por outro. Portanto, este artigo explora como a Miss Brill e a Shepherd 3rd class refletem a vida das pessoas envolvidas em solidão, alienação, separação e afetadas pela globalização e industrialização, especialmente pela urbanização do início e meados do século 20. Palavras-chave: Alienação; Desorientação; Isolamento Social; Impotência; Auto-estima; Hierarquia de Necessidades Abstract: This paper aims to analyze the ideology of alienation in modernist fiction as embedded in social isolation and incompleteness of human needs in Mansfield’s Miss Brill and Carey’s Life and Death in the South Side Pavilion.

Mead, The City College of New York Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in the City College of New York at the City University of New York Introduction and Critical History New Zealand-born and Europe-adopted Katherine Mansfield is notable in the collection of early 20th century Modernist writers because she only wrote short stories and she died just as she was finding her greater powers as a writer. Noticeably influenced by the warm writing style of Anton Chekhov, by the bucolic ancient Greek poet Theocritus, by her forceful contemporaries (mostly D.H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf), by her tuberculosis, and, perhaps most significantly, by her early life in rural New Zealand, Mansfield’s stories invite the reader to bear witness to small details and emotional responses to significant moments in ordinary but intensely experienced lives. According to her two main biographers, Jeffrey Meyers and Anthony Alpers, Mansfield is greatly responsible for the development and validation of the short story as an important literary genre.
