description: This anthology of source and critical essays, several prepared especially for this collection by New Zealand scholars, casts fresh light on the life and craft of short story writer Mansfield (1888-1923), a writer who has been alternately and sometimes simultaneously undervalued, overinterpreted, and categorized through the years. The essays range from (husband and critic) J. Middleton Murry's predictably biased, but nonetheless valuable, introduction to the first collection of the short stories, to fresh commentaries on "Bliss," "The Garden Party," and other celebrated and much-debated stories.
