Product Description

Review

"'Pitting a breezy English sensibility against stuffy German manners makes this the funniest, most caustic collection of Mansfield's stories.' - The Guardian Review" --x --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Product Description

Written shortly after Mansfield visited Germany as a young woman, these short stories form a series of satirical sketches of German characters. From a young wife's preoccupation with her husband's stomach, to a society lady's inability to see beyond the latest fashion, Mansfield depicts everyday events and the minute changes of human behaviour in the most exquisite detail. In a German Pension reveals her as a true disciple of Chekhov. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars PRELUDE TO CONFLICT, 1 Mar 2005
By Bill Keeth (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In a German Pension (Paperback)
New Zealander Katherine Mansfield (nee Kathleen Beauchamp), one of the key modernist authors linked to the so-called Bloomsbury set, said of this, her first commercially published work: 'It was a bad book, but the press was kind to it.'

Well, maybe it's not as bad as she says - and certainly it's a must-have for anyone who's interested in her work - but, when you get right down to it, of course, this is a bunch of stories, the theme of each of which is that "All Germans are stupid and the first person singlular Anglophile narrator (Miss Mansfield) is a civilised smart ass for pointing it out!"

Well, okay if you say so, Miss Mansfield . . . I don't think! And neither do you, I suspect - not in your literary heart of hearts. Because it's the original date of publication of the book which gives us a clue regarding the kindness that was shown to it by the press: 1912 - just two years before WWI broke out, thanks in part to press jingoism . . . and to anti-German propaganda in bad books like this one.
