This book conducts a comprehensive investigation and analysis of the novels of Katherine Mansfield, a New Zealand-born British short story writer in the early 20th century, from the perspective of aesthetic modernity. The main contents include the aesthetic modernity of modernist literature, the relationship between Mansfield and modernist literature, the modernist style of Mansfield's novels, the modernist themes of Mansfield's novels and the modern aesthetic paradigm of Mansfield's novels. Through the investigation of the above issues, this book aims to illustrate that although Mansfield's novels are short stories, they embody a high degree of unity in form and theme, and have the characteristics of typical modernist literature. Formally, the unique modernist styles of Mansfield's novels such as structure, narrative, language, and discourse make them reflect the typical aesthetic paradigms of modernist literature such as irony, decadence, grotesqueness, and fear. Thematically, the expression of modern people's negative emotions such as trauma, depression, death, disillusionment, anxiety, and alienation, as well as the description of living conditions such as self-division, self-loss, and subjugation to things, make her novels implicitly negate and reflect on enlightenment modernity, highlighting the characteristics of aesthetic modernity.
