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.
