  "Prelude" is a short story by Katherine Mansfield. It was first published by the Hogarth Press in July 1918, after Virginia Woolf encouraged her to finish the story. Mansfield had begun writing "Prelude" in the midst of a love affair she had in Paris in 1915. It was reprinted in Bliss and Other Stories (1920). The story was a compressed and subtler version of a longer work The Aloe, which was later published posthumously in full.
  The story is based on the Beauchamps' move to Karori, a country suburb of Wellington, in 1893. Alpers says that some readers may not pick up the numerous hints that Linda is pregnant.

  "The Age of Innocence" by Edith Wharton masterfully captures the intricate social tapestry of 1870s New York, where rigid societal norms dictate the lives of its elite. Centered on the conflicted Newland Archer, who is betrothed to the lovely but conventional May Welland, the novel deepens as he falls for the free-spirited Countess Ellen Olenska. Through lush prose and keen social critique, Wharton explores themes of duty, desire, and the suffocating constraints of tradition.
