-
Katherine Mansfield was a world-renowned short story
writer and New Zealand's most famous author. Three volumes of her stories appeared in her
lifetime (1988-1923). ... In addition to her stories, the letters and journals published by her husband, John Middleton
Murry, reveal intimate details of her life and thoughts. He also published private papers, as well as unfinished stories and poems.
In London in 1911, Mansfield met John Middleton
Murry, an Oxford scholar, prominent critic, and editor of a
literary quarterly
publication, Rhythm. They became lovers and were later to marry in
1918.
Mansfied and Murry were closely associated with
D.H. Lawrence and his wife Frieda. They shared a house in England in 1914-15.
Lawrence's novel, Women in Love, has characters that are probably partially based on Lawrence and his wife, and
Murry and Mansfield.
