Through close text reading of Bliss written by Katherine Mansfield,this thesis analyzes authorial features of extra representational acts,like direct judgments and addresses,and indirection techniques,such as free indirect discourse and irony,and explores Mansfield’s narrative voice of authority from the perspective of Lanser’s critical concept of“authorial voice”in order to show Bertha’s disillusionment of her superficially happy life and to inspire women to raise the consciousness of facing reality,finding true self and living unfettered life.
