1. Mrs. Gerould belongs to the school of Henry James, but shows marked
individuality in her themes and in her dramatic power. A comparison of
some of her short stories with stories by Mr. James (q.v.) and by Mrs.
Wharton (q.v.) is illuminating for the powers and limitations of all
three.
2. Another interesting comparison is between Mrs. Gerould's stories and
the collection entitled _Bliss_ by the English writer, Katherine
Mansfield (Mrs. J. Middleton Murry); cf. Manly and Rickert, _Contemporary
British Literature_.
