Abstract

It will be my purpose to make a careful study of the short stories of both writers in order to determine whether or not a relationship does exist and, if it does, to determine the exact nature of this relationship. If there is a similarity, is it in plot, style, technique, or in general attitude toward life?

I shall further attempt to determine whether or not Mansfield was merely a facile imitator or whether she made some real and individual contribution to the short fiction of her time. Certain readers have felt that Mansfield did imitate Chekhov and have pronounced judgment on her for this reason.
