About Katherine Mansfield
Katherine Mansfield was the pen name of short story writer Katherine Beauchamp, who is best known for her collection The Garden Party.
Born in New Zealand on October 14, 1888, she moved to England as a
young woman and became friends with writers such as Virginia Woolf and
D.H. Lawrence. Her writing style was influenced by Anton Chekhov; like
him, she focused on intimate moments that revealed character. She in
turn influenced a generation of short story writers. She died on January
9, 1923 of tuberculosis.
