Katherine MansfieldMansfield, Katherine,1888–1923, British author, b. New Zealand, regarded as one of the masters of the short story. Her original name was Kathleen Beauchamp. A talented cellist, she did not turn to literature until 1908. Her first volume of short stories, In a German Pension (1911), was not remarkable and achieved little notice, but the stories in Bliss (1920) and The Garden Party (1922) established her as a major writer. Later volumes of stories include The Dove's Nest (1923) and Something Childish (1924; U.S. ed. The Little Girl, 1924). Her collected stories appeared in 1937. Novels and Novelists (1930) is a compilation of critical essays. After an unhappy first marriage, she married John Middleton MurryMurry, John Middleton,1889–1957, English critic and editor.

Mansfield's stories, which reveal the influence of Chekhov, are simple in form, luminous and evocative in substance. With delicate plainness they present elusive moments of decision, defeat, and small triumph. After her death Murry culled a number of books from her notebooks, editing her poems (1923, new ed. 1930), her journals (1927), her letters (1928), and a collection of unfinished pieces from her notebooks (1939).

Her short stories (the collections In a German Pension[1911], Bliss and Other Stories[1920], and The Garden Party and Other Stories [1922]) are distinguished for their subtle psychological insight and uncompromising attitude toward the petit bourgeois world and its mores. Mansfield’s sense of the drama of everyday life is reminiscent of Chekhov’s short stories. Her posthumously published reviews, letters, and diaries are of considerable interest.
