What are some pieces of evidence that the House by Katherine Mansfield was written more than 50 years ago?

You're right to be curious! It's impossible to tell that "The House" by Katherine Mansfield was written more than 50 years ago just from its title. There are no explicit clues in the title itself.

To determine the writing date, we need to look at external information:

* Katherine Mansfield's Life: She lived from 1888 to 1923. "The House" was published in 1922, so it was written well over 100 years ago, not just 50.

* Literary Context: Mansfield's writing style and the themes of the story are indicative of the early 20th century, a period of significant social and cultural change.

* Published Editions: You can usually find the publication date on any edition of "The House."
