In a German Pension by Katherine Mansfield
The stories collected here are based on Katherine Mansfield's experiences in a Bavarian spa. They reflect her own spirited response to the constraints she felt were imposed upon her as a woman in the opening years of the twentieth century. From amusing depictions of class inequaltites on display to the tale of a young man taking advantage of a woman's extreme poverty, the stories are packed full of sharp, frank and satirical observations on human life.
Katherine Mansfield was born in Wellington, New Zealand in 1888 and died in Fontainebleau in 1923. She is remembered as as a conscious modernist, an experimenter in life and writing. Anne Fernihough teaches English at Girton College, Cambridge.
