J- Everything which is publicly done invites either the praise or blame of men. Too often a man is tempted to rest in this human criticism. The approval of men justifies his merit. Their disapproval is his greatest pain. This condition of things sets up fictitious standards of what is good or bad, well or ill done. Simplicity, which is unaffected nature in action, is destroyed. The action is done for applause. Soon another deterioration takes place. The action is done in the way which is most likely to provoke applause. The trick of playing to the gallery is learned. The man ceases to act in the pure and noble sense; in a lower sense, he is acting in all that he does.Christ points out this snare and cautions against a corresponding loss. The snare is righteousness followed for reputation's sake : the caution He gives is against loss of the Father's reward. We shallbest understand the loss which ensues by understanding the effect of the snare.The snare is not that which arises out of the baser and more obviously wicked passions. One of the trials or disciplines of life is found in the fact that the higher we climb the more subtle are the temptations, because we move so to speak into a more refined atmosphere. The difference between right and wrong is measured by a more sensitive balance, being a... ... Read more

Product Description
One of Katherine Mansfield's most important works, Prelude established her reputation as a master of short fiction. Accompanied here by its continuation pieces At the Bay and The Doll's House. Foreword by William Boyd.

A large, seemingly loving family, the Burnells lead an idyllic life, with the children free to play at will, and with enough adults on hand to lavish love upon them. Yet alongside this innocent evocation of childhood bliss, another aspect of the household is delicately and unmistakably laid bare as Mansfield exposes the true nature of the family. Pretensions and insecurities rise to the surface in a series of vivid, all too real impressions of domestic life. The result is an exquisite rendering of childhood, memory, and understanding. A key figure in the Modernist movement, Katherine Mansfield (1888-1923) is most remarkable for having perfected the art of the short story. ... Read more
