Published in 1922, The Garden Party and Other Stories is Katherine Mansfield’s third and most acclaimed collection of short stories. In addition to the title piece, it includes fourteen other masterful stories, including “At the Bay” and “The Daughters of the Late Colonel.” Set in post-World War I Europe and New Zealand, Mansfield captures the psychology and inner lives of her characters through free indirect discourse and sudden moments of realization and insight. Many of The Garden Party stories were written between 1920 and 1921 when Mansfield was both at the height of her literary powers and seriously ill with tuberculosis, to which she succumbed in 1923. Includes a review of the 1922 edition by Rebecca West, an essay by Mansfield scholar Joanna Woods, and a detailed biographical timeline.
