Книга: Katherine Mansfield «Katherine Mansfield: Selected Stories»
Серия: "Collins Classics" Powerful and evocative, each of Katherine Mansfield's short stories is a masterclass in the form that made her name. Born in New Zealand in 1888, she defied the conventions of the times and lived a spirited life, travelling to Bohemian Paris and London, where she died at the early age of 34. These various landscapes are reflected with verve in her writing, and are peopled with astutely and intimately drawn characters: lonely Miss Brill in her ermine, Colonel Pinner's adrift daughters, mysterious Pearl Fulton. Издательство: "Collins Classics, HarperCollins Publishers Limited, William Collins, Sons&Co" (2015) Формат: 110x175, 240 стр.

Biography
Mansfield was born Kathleen Mansfield Beauchamp into a socially prominent family in Her first published stories appeared in the "High School Reporter" and the Wellington Girls' High School magazine, in 1898 and 1899. She moved to Back in London in 1908, Beauchamp quickly fell into the bohemian way of life lived by many artists and writers of that era. [ [http://www.britishempire.co.uk/biography/mansfield.htm] "Brististempire.co.uk" Retrieved on 05-25-07] With little money, she met, married and left her first husband, George Bowden, all within just three weeks. Before long, she became pregnant by a family friend from Back in England, her work drew the attention of several publishing houses, and Beauchamp adopted the pen-name Katherine Mansfield on the publication of her first collection of short stories, "In a German Pension", in 1911. She also contracted Although discouraged by the volume's lack of success, Mansfield submitted a lightweight story to a new avant-garde magazine called "Rhythm". The piece was rejected by the magazine's editor, Visitors to her flat often found her dressed in a kimono, and, when Murry called on her, she served him cups of teas in bowls because she had no cups and saucers. Soon after publication of "The Woman at the Store", Mansfield, attracted to Murry, invited him to move into the spare bedroom of her sparsely furnished bohemian flat. They began an eccentric, on-again off-again relationship, which eventually led to marriage in 1918. They moved home many times, and often lived apart. Some have characterised their "child-love" as co-dependent, and despite her strong attraction to the good-looking Murry, Mansfield would often feel neglected, especially in the later years when she suffered from tuberculosis. Neither seemed to believe in strong commitments, although there are signs that Mansfield may have lived to regret their style of marriage. Her close friend, Ida Baker, often looked after her when she and Murry were apart. Mansfield's life and work were changed forever by the death of her brother, a soldier, during Mansfield continued writing in the years between "In a German Pension" and her second story collection, "Prelude", which eventually appeared in 1918. However, she rarely published any of this work, and sank into depression. Her health declined further after a near-fatal attack of "Miss Brill," the bittersweet story of a fragile woman living an ephemeral life of observation and simple pleasures in Final years Mansfield spent her last years seeking increasingly unorthodox cures for her tuberculosis. In February 1922, she consulted the Russian physician The " Mansfield proved to be a prolific writer in the final years of her life, and much of her prose and poetry remained unpublished at her death. Murry took on the task of editing and publishing her works. His efforts resulted in two additional volumes of short stories in 1923 ("The Dove's Nest") and in 1924 ("Something Childish"), as well as her "Poems", "The Aloe", a collection of critical writings ("Novels and Novelists") and a number of editions of Mansfield's previously unpublished letters and journals. Legacy Katherine Mansfield is widely considered one of the best short story writers of her period. A number of her works, including "Miss Brill", "Prelude", "The Garden Party", "The Doll's House", and later works such as "The Fly", are frequently collected in short story anthologies. Mansfield also proved ahead of her time in her adoration of Russian playwright and short story writer A street in Works Collections *" hort stories *" ee also * References External links * [http://www.katherinemansfield.com/ Official website] Persondata Источник: Katherine Mansfield
