Bliss and Other Stories (1920), The Garden Party and Other Stories (1922), The Doves Nest and Other Stories (1923), and Something Childish and Other Stories (1924) were all penned by Katherine Mansfield. These collections are essential for studying Mansfield's narrative innovations and the wide array of subjects and characters her stories explore. They also serve as prime examples of literary modernism from the 1920s.

The Tunnel, a compilation of twenty-four vignettes by Dorothy Richardson, was published in 1919. Richardson had a significant influence on Katherine Mansfield, particularly in terms of stylistic innovation. Though different in content and themes, these works are intriguing examples of early twentieth-century female modernism.

To the Lighthouse, Virginia Woolf's most celebrated novel, was released in 1928. Woolf and Mansfield were friends and greatly influenced each other. After Mansfield’s death, Woolf remarked that Mansfield was the only writer she envied. To the Lighthouse is a masterpiece of stream-of-consciousness narration, bearing similarities to Mansfield's "The Garden Party."

Mrs. Dalloway, another novel by Virginia Woolf, was published in 1922. Like "The Garden Party," Mrs. Dalloway revolves around an evening cocktail party. It juxtaposes Mrs. Dalloway, an upper-middle-class wife of a government official, with Septimus Smith, a mentally-ill war veteran. Their intertwined narratives offer a compelling critique of complacency and snobbery.

The Letters of Katherine Mansfield, published in 1928, showcases Mansfield's prolific correspondence, which includes commentary on her fiction and the works of her contemporaries.

The Journals of Katherine Mansfield, published in 1927, are an invaluable resource for understanding Mansfield's political and social beliefs, as well as the various influences on her writing.

Women in Love, by D. H. Lawrence, was published in 1920. One of the main characters, Gudrun, is modeled after Katherine Mansfield. The novel explores the relationships and marriages of two couples, loosely based on Mansfield's and John Middleton Murry's friendship with Lawrence and his wife, Frieda.
