I learned about Katherine Mansfield from the Pens and Poison Podcast. Professor Alex Moffett talked extensively with host Liza LEEza Libes about Telepathy in literature. I’ve included a link to the episode in the show notes.
Apparently, today’s story, written in 1920, is one of the first instances of communicating telepathically in fiction. Keep in mind it was written over a hundred years ago. It reads like contemporary fiction to me. Mansfield was a friend of Virginia Woolf, and you can really feel her influence, as we weave in and out of the thoughts of each character. It’s almost an experimental piece, feeling out the world of unspoken communication. I hope you like it.
And now, “Psychology”, by Katherine Mansfield.
