Miss Brill

About the Author

Katherine Mansfield (1888-1923) was a prominent New Zealand-born writer, known for her keen insights into human nature and her skill in portraying complex emotional landscapes. Her works, such as The Garden Party and Bliss, often examine themes of class, identity, and the inner lives of women. Mansfield's unique style, marked by its brevity and focus on the subtleties of everyday life, has made her one of the most influential modernist writers.
