Katherine Mansfield, pseudonym of Kathleen Mansfield Beauchamp, was a British short-story writer born in Wellington, New Zealand in 1888. She is considered one of the great
masters of the short-story form. At the age of 18, she settled in London to study music and to establish herself as a writer.
Mansfield's stories are poetic and ironic; they are characterized by a subtle sensitivity to mood and emotion, revealing the inner conflicts her characters face and resolve.

Her style, much influenced by that of the Russian writer, Anton Chekhov, in turn had great influence on later short-story writing. Collections of her short fiction include "In a German Pension" (1911);
"Bliss" (1920), which contains stories evocative of her homeland; and "The Garden Party" (1922), her finest work. "The Dove's Nest" (1923) and "Something Childish" (1924) were published after
Mansfield's death, as were collections of her poems, journals, and letters.© 2000-2002, ArtemisPress: a division of SRS Internet Publishing #06610736
