Katherine Mansfield人物简介

Answer 1

Katherine Mansfield, known by her pen name Kathleen Mansfield, was a highly acclaimed short fiction writer. Born in Wellington, New Zealand in 1888, she pursued her studies at Queens College, London, where she encountered influential figures like D. H. Lawrence and John Middleton Murry, a renowned critic, who would later become her spouse.

Despite facing years of poor health and the challenges of a freelance career and reviewing, Mansfield achieved notable success with the publication of 'Bliss and Other Stories' in 1920 and 'The Garden Party' in 1922. Critics admired her ability to distill the essence of Chekhov's storytelling art, focusing on atmosphere and real-life experiences over dramatic plot developments, and commended her 'refreshing originality' and 'sensitivity to beauty'.

Unfortunately, as her international fame grew, so did her health issues. Katherine Mansfield succumbed to tuberculosis in 1923, leaving behind a legacy of influential literary works and a testament to her remarkable talent.
