Books with title The Garden Party

This is a story from the Classic Women's Short Stories collection.... Five stories from influential women writers of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th century. New Zealand-born Katherine Mansfield settled in England where she wrote a series of short stories that are widely recognized as among the finest of the 20th century for their economy, clarity, sensitivity and effect. "The Garden Party" is one of her most famous, while "Daughters of the Late Colonel" shows a wonderful sense of wit. Kate Chopin, writing in the last years of the 19th century, broke new ground with her daring view of women as individuals with human needs. "Lilacs" and "Ma'ame Pelagie" are sympathetic portraits of women with differing dilemmas. Woolf's "A Mark on the Wall" shows, in short story form, the turmoil within the stillness which became such a mark of her later novels.

This story is a gem representing the delightful stories from the Indian subcontinent which capture the simple essence of everyday life in rural/urban India. The simple pleasures of life indicate a time gone by before the advent of cellphones and Facebook, a time which almost stood still, a time where children could revel in the rain, make paper boats and race them down a drain, play marbles, and generally pass time. The once idyllic life almost seems too slow to bear and hence is fascinating to watch unfurl as we hear the story.

"Miss mansfield's stories are the life reflected in a round mirror. Everything is exquisitely bright, exquisitely distiner, and just a little queer.""Miss Mansfield has the genius that can make is short story out of nothing."These two phrases used by the Nation and the Evening Standard, are representative of the critical praise that greeted Katherine Mansfield's first book of stories publisehd in 1920. The tales that went to the making of Bliss and other stories were everywhere acclaimed as literary art of the high order. The Garden Party have the same bitter-sweet qualities as had their predecessors, with the additional fullness and stature given by their author's more perfect control of her medium.Published in 1922, The Garden Party and Other Stories was Katherine Mansfield’s third collection of short stories and the last to be published before her death in 1923. Mansfield contracted pulmonary tuberculosis whilst in France in 1918, which equated to a death sentence according to the medicine of the period. She channelled the devastation and anguish of this diagnosis into her work, and wrote urgently, prolifically and to great acclaim in the final five years of her life. The year she wrote the stories in Garden Party (1920–21) was the most fruitful period of her short writing career.The collection is infused with a sense of the ineffable, as Mansfield probed below the surface and beyond appearances. Many of the stories’ episodes, characters and settings are, in part, autobiographical, particularly those set in New Zealand, Mansfield’s home country. ‘The Garden Party’ – one of Mansfield’s best-known works – is set in Mansfield’s childhood home in Tinakori Road, and explores a death that happened on nearby Saunders Road, the day her family had a garden party.
