| katherine mansfield miss brill analysis: The Garden Party and Other Stories Katherine Mansfield, Lorna Sage, 2007-03-29 Innovative, startlingly perceptive and aglow with colour, these fifteen stories were written towards the end of Katherine Mansfield's tragically short life. Many are set in the author's native New Zealand, others in England and the French Riviera. All are revelations of the unspoken, half-understood emotions that make up everyday experience - from the blackly comic 'The Daughters of the Late Colonel', and the short, sharp sketch 'Miss Brill', in which a lonely woman's precarious sense of self is brutally destroyed, to the vivid impressionistic evocation of family life in 'At the Bay'. 'All that I write,' Mansfield said, 'all that I am - is on the borders of the sea. It is a kind of playing.' |

| katherine mansfield miss brill analysis: At the Bay Katherine Mansfield, 2022-09-15 Katherine Mansfield's At the Bay is a masterful short story that intricately weaves together the lives of the inhabitants of a seaside settlement, exploring themes of time, memory, and the complexities of human relationships. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the New Zealand coast, Mansfield employs her signature impressionistic style, capturing fleeting moments and sensory experiences with a remarkable economy of language. The narrative shifts seamlessly between perspectives, allowing readers to engage with the inner lives of multiple characters, each grappling with their own desires and disappointments, thereby elevating the work within the modernist literary context of the early 20th century. Katherine Mansfield, a pioneering voice in modernist literature, was born in 1888 in Wellington, New Zealand, and her expatriate experiences in Europe profoundly influenced her writing. Her keen observations of social dynamics within familial and personal relationships, often drawn from her own life challenges, served as fertile ground for her themes in At the Bay. Mansfield's innovative approach to narrative structure and character development reflects her desire to illuminate the human condition, marking her as a significant figure in literary history. At the Bay is an essential read for those interested in modernist literature and the intricacies of human emotion. Mansfield's evocative prose invites readers to immerse themselves in the lives of her characters, prompting reflections on the nature of experience, making this work a poignant exploration of what it means to be human in a world marked by both beauty and transient sadness. |

| katherine mansfield miss brill analysis: Venice Jan Morris, 1993 Often hailed as one of the best travel books ever written, Venice is neither a guide nor a history book, but a beautifully written immersion in Venetian life and character, set against the background of the city's past. Analysing the particular temperament of Venetians, as well as its waterways, its architecture, its bridges, its tourists, its curiosities, its smells, sounds, lights and colours, there is scarcely a corner of Venice that Jan Morris has not investigated and brought vividly to life. Jan Morris first visited the city of Venice as young James Morris, during World War II. As she writes in the introduction, 'it is Venice seen through a particular pair of eyes at a particular moment - young eyes at that, responsive above all to the stimuli of youth.' Venice is an impassioned work on this magnificent but often maddening city. Jan Morris's collection of travel writing and reportage spans over five decades and includes such titles as Sydney, Coronation Everest, Hong Kong, Spain and Manhattan '45. Since its first publication, Venice has appeared in many editions, won the W.H. Heinemann award and become an international bestseller. 'The best book about Venice ever written' Sunday Times 'No sensible visitor should visit the place without it . . . Venice stands alone as the essential introduction, and as a work of literature in its own right.' Observer |
