Katharine Fullerton Gerould (Mrs. Gordon Hall Gerould)—short-story writer, novelist, essayist.
Born at Brockton, Massachusetts, 1879. A. B., Radcliffe College, 1900; A. M., 1901. Reader in English at Bryn Mawr College, 1901-10, except 1908-9 which she spent in England and France.
Suggestions for Reading
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.
