Description
'In a German Pension' is a collection of short stories by Katherine Mansfield, first published in 1911. Drawing on Mansfield’s experiences while staying at a German spa, the stories observe the lives, conversations and prejudices of the German middle and upper classes with a sharp, often satirical eye. Mansfield explores themes of marriage, gender, social convention and the restrictions placed on women, while capturing the tensions and absurdities of everyday life. The collection marked an important early stage in Mansfield’s development as a modernist short-story writer.
