Born in Wellington, New Zealand in 1888, she came to London in 1903 to attend Queen's College and returned permanently in 1908. her first book of stories, In a German Pension, appeared in 1911, and she went on to write and publish an extraordinary body of work. This edition of The Collected Stories brings together all of the stories that Mansfield had written up until her death in January of 1923.
With an introduction and head notes, this volume allows the reader to become familiar with the complete range of Mansfield's work from the early, satirical stories set in Bavaria, through the luminous recollections of her childhood in New Zealand, and through the mature, deeply felt stories of her last years.

Her style, with its 'stream of consciousness', was said to be an influence on the work of Virginia Woolf.

MANSFIELD KATHERINE
Wellington, 1888-1923 . Katherine Mansfield, escritora neozelandesa de origen británico, se instaló en Londres a los 18 años para estudiar música y comenzar su carrera como escritora. Sus relatos, de carácter poético, delicado e irónico, destilan una honda y sutil sensibilidad, capaz de captar con maestría los estados de ánimo de sus personajes. Con un estilo heredado de Chèjov, sus cuentos se sitúan en los albores de las nuevas formas literarias que habrían de nacer en el siglo XX. Aquejada de tuberculosis, Mansfield falleció a los 35 años de edad, tras pasar los últimos cinco años de su vida buscando un remedio para su enfermedad.
