Bliss and Other Stories represents the range of themes and concerns for which Katherine Mansfield is known. Besides the great number of marriage and couples narratives, this collection also includes ‘woman alone’ stories about unmarried women exploring hopes, dreams, trials, and fears. Mansfield’s greatest skill is her ability to capture accurately the tender life of the human psyche and soul.

Circa l’autore
Mansfield described herself as “a writer first and a woman after.” One of the first to benefit when British institutions of higher education opened to women, she attended Queen’s College in London. The Wellington of her childhood appears as a setting in many of her stories although she returned to her colonial homeland for only two years after leaving Queen’s. Born in Wellington, New Zealand, Kathleen Mansfield Beauchamp (1888–1923) adopted the name of Katherine Mansfield when she began to publish her fiction in 1907.
