Bliss and Other Stories

Bliss and Other Stories is a 1920 collection of short stories by the writer Katherine Mansfield. Kathleen Mansfield Murry (1888 –1923) was a prominent New Zealand modernist short-story writer and poet who was born and brought up in colonial New Zealand and wrote under the pen name of Katherine Mansfield. At the age of 19, she left New Zealand and settled in England, where she became a friend of writers such as D. H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf. Mansfield was diagnosed with extrapulmonary tuberculosis in 1917; the disease claimed her life at the age of 34.
