An interesting tribute by an American reviewer to Katherine Mansfield:— There is no doubt, I should think, that these stories (by Elizabeth Bowen) are not the kind of stories they would have been if Katherine Mansfield had never performed the magnificent service of introducing Chekhov's manner of storv writing into England. Since that incomparable manner, not unrecognisably transformed by its passage through Katherine Mansfield's crystal, and very feminine mind and spirit, changed even Virginia Woolf from the muddy writer of the Conradian "Voyage Out" into the writer of the clear and brilliant "Mrs Dallowav," there cannot be much doubt that Miss Bowen is also one of the women who are working ont the problem Miss Mansfield started for her countrywomen and ours In her choice of themes, too, Miss Bowen shows the' same intelligence which Katherine Mansfield showed in her choice of themes for her tales and which Marie laurencin shows in the choice of her subjects for her delicate rose and gray canvases.
