| | The New Zealand Edge : Heroes : www.nzedge.com : Katherine Mansfield |
 | | The contemporary Mansfield is a figure of vivid contradiction—fiercely independent and pathetically needy, brilliantly bold and wretchedly repentant, terrifically ambitious and plagued by self-doubt. | | | Unfinished business lies at the heart of the Mansfield life story, not least because she died young—in 1923 at the age of thirty four, the author of just three books of short stories (a fourth and fifth would appear after her death). | | | The emphasis on newness was everywhere—in Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot, in James Joyce and Virginia Woolf and D.H. Lawrence. |

| | Katherine died at the age of 32, a real pity because she was fouding a complete personal and masterly style of her own. | | | The beauty of the writing lies in the subtlety of description, the use of symbolism, and the immediacy of the language, not unlike her contemporary and admirer Virginia Woolf. | | | The beauty of Mansfield's writing lies in her poetic description of detail--her power of suggestion--and her courage. |

| | MANSFIELD, Katherine |
| | The story of the rises and falls in Mansfield's popularity is fascinating, as it shifts with the major social, political and literary trends which have given rise to modern China and its literature. | | | But she went far from us most of her tales were written in a subtle foreign language which is not yet fully understood out here the language of twentieth century art’. | | | She also made an extended caravan journey into remote Urewera country in the middle of the North Island, her one experience of ‘roughing it’, returning home with a liking for Maori and English tourists, ‘but nothing in between’. |

| | The Woolfs published Mansfield's “Prelude” as the second publication of their Hogarth Press; some copies carried illustrations by Fergusson. | | | I detest them all heartily.” Her reluctant father allowed her to leave for London, where she fell in love with one man, married another and left him immediately, acting on Oscar Wilde's advice that the only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it. | | | “Prelude” is a pared-down revision of an earlier story, “The Aloe”, which was not published in Mansfield's lifetime. |

| | Though in many stories, the incidents were slight, perhaps even commonplace, this in no way detracts from their power; indeed, Mansfield’s genius derives from her unsentimental way of drawing attention to the day-to-day events which add up to the sum of a life. | | | Mansfield’s contemporary readers remarked on the clarity of vision in The Garden Party. | | | Again, Mansfield demonstrates her talent for keen characterization and subtle observation. |

| | Nobel Prize-winning author Patrick White thought her letters and diaries "as perfect in their imagery as early morning." He read them throughout his life, incorporating some of the experiences they chronicled into his fiction. | | | When Mansfield's only brother was killed in 1915 during military training, she resolved "to make our undiscovered country leap into the eyes of the Old World." In 1917, she published Prelude, which became the first part of a trilogy about the Burnell family. | | | To Mansfield's admirers, the woman was inseparable from the work. |
