Biography of Katherine Mansfield

Слайд 3 Katherine Mansfield (Kathleen Beauchamp) was born

Katherine Mansfield (Kathleen Beauchamp) was born on the 14th of

on the 14th of October, 1888 at Tinakori Road,

Thorndon, Wellington.  The house of her birth had newly been built for her parents, Annie and Harold Beauchamp. Harold Beauchamp was a clerk (later a partner) in the importing firm of Bannatyne and Co. and was also knighted.


Слайд 4 The Mansfield family moved from Thorndon

The Mansfield family moved from Thorndon to Karori in 1893,

to Karori in 1893, where Mansfield would spend the

happiest years of her childhood; she later used her memories of this time as an inspiration for the "Prelude" story.

Her first published stories appeared in the High School Reporter and the Wellington Girls' High School magazine in 1898 and 1899.

a cellist, Arnold Trowell (Mansfield herself was an accomplished

cellist, having received lessons from Trowell's father), in 1902, although the feelings were largely unreciprocated.
Mansfield wrote, in her journals, of feeling alienated to some extent in New Zealand, and, in general terms, of how she became disillusioned due to the repression of the Māori people—who were often portrayed in a sympathetic or positive light in her later stories, such as “How Pearl Button Was Kidnapped”.

Слайд 6 She moved to London in

She moved to London in 1903, where she attended

1903, where she attended Queen's College, along with her

two sisters. Mansfield recommenced playing the cello, an occupation that she believed, during her time at Queen's, she would take up professionally,but she also began contributing to the school newspaper, with such a dedication to it that she eventually became editor during this period.

She met fellow writer Ida Baker (also known as

Baker (also known as Lesley Moore), a South African,

at the college, and the pair became lifelong friends.
Mansfield returned to her New Zealand home in 1906, only then beginning to write short stories. She had several works published in the Native Companion (Australia), which was her first paid writing work, and by this time she had her mind set on becoming a professional writer. It was also the first occasion on which she used the pseudonym 'K. Mansfield'.

provincial New Zealand lifestyle, and of her family, during

this time, and two years later headed again for London. Her father sent her an annual subsidy of £100 for the rest of her life.
In later years, she would express both admiration and disdain for New Zealand in her journals, and she was never able to visit there again, partly due to her tuberculosis.

Слайд 9 During her first year in London,

During her first year in London, she embarked on various

she embarked on various relationships and published very little

-  only one poem and one story. Pregnant to Garnet Trowell, the son of her childhood music teacher in New Zealand, she married George Bowden, a singing teacher considerably older than herself, whom she left almost immediately. 

Слайд 10 After a brief reunion with

After a brief reunion with Garnet, Mansfield's mother arrived

Garnet, Mansfield's mother arrived in 1909. She quickly had

her daughter despatched to Bad Wörishofen, in Bavaria, Germany. Mansfield had miscarried the child after attempting to lift a suitcase on top of a cupboard, although it is not known whether her mother knew of this miscarriage when she left shortly after arriving in Germany (Mansfield was subsequently cut out of her mother's will).

Слайд 11 Mansfield's time in Bavaria was

Mansfield's time in Bavaria was to have a significant

to have a significant effect on her literary outlook.

She was introduced to the works of Anton Chekhov, a writer who proved to have greater influence upon her writing in the short-term than Wilde, on whom she had been fixated during her earlier years. She returned to London in January 1910, and had over a dozen works published in A.R. Orage's The New Age, a socialist magazine and highly-regarded intellectual publication. Her experiences of Germany formed the foundation of her first published collection, In a German Pension,in 1911, a work that was lauded by a number of critics. The most successful story from this work was Frau Brechenmacher Attends a Wedding.

Слайд 12 Having returned to London, Mansfield met John

Having returned to London, Mansfield met John Middleton Murry, the Oxford

Middleton Murry, the Oxford scholar and editor of  Rhythm,

in 1911.  They became lovers and were later to marry in 1918. Mansfield became a co-editor of  Rhythm, later the short lived  Blue Review, in which more of her works were published.  She and Murry lived in various houses in England and briefly in Paris.  The Blue Review folded,  Murry was declared a bankrupt and they returned to London where Murry worked on the New Statesman.

Слайд 13 In January 1914, they moved to

In January 1914, they moved to Paris, with the hope

Paris, with the hope that the change of setting

would make writing for both of them easier. Mansfield wrote only one story during her time there (Something Childish But Very Natural). Mansfield had an affair in 1914, when she embarked on a brief relationship with French writer Francis Carco; her visiting him, in Paris in February 1915, was retold in one of her short stories, An Indiscreet Journey.

Слайд 14 By the remembered stream my brother stands Waiting for

By the remembered stream my brother stands Waiting for me with

me with berries in his hands... 'These are my body.

Sister, take and eat.'

Mansfield's life and work were changed forever by the 1915 death of her brother, Leslie Heron "Chummie" Beauchamp,a soldier fighting with New Zealand's troops in France in World War I. She was shocked and traumatized by the experience, so much so that her work began to take refuge in the nostalgic reminiscences of their childhood in New Zealand. In a poem, describing a dream she had shortly after his death, she wrote:



Слайд 15 Mansfield entered into her most

Mansfield entered into her most prolific period of writing

prolific period of writing post-1916, which began with several

stories, including Mr Reginald Peacock's Day and A Dill Pickle being published in The New Age. Woolf and her husband, Leonard, who had recently set up Hogarth Press, approached her for a story, and Mansfield presented "Prelude", a story she had begun writing in 1915 as The Aloe. The story is centred around a family of New Zealanders moving home, with little external plot. Although it failed to reach a wider audience, and was little noticed and criticized upon its release in 1918, it later became one of Mansfield's most celebrated works.

Слайд 16 "Miss Brill" the bittersweet story of

a fragile woman living an ephemeral life of observation

and simple pleasures in Paris, established Mansfield as one of the preeminent writers of the Modernist period, upon its publication in 1920's Bliss. The title story from that collection, "Bliss", which involved a similar character facing her husband's infidelity, also found critical acclaim. She followed with the equally praised collection, The Garden Party, published in 1922.

Слайд 17 Mansfield spent her last years

Mansfield spent her last years seeking increasingly unorthodox cures

seeking increasingly unorthodox cures for her tuberculosis. In February

1922, she consulted the Russian physician Ivan Manoukhin. His "revolutionary" treatment, which consisted of bombarding her spleen with X-rays, caused Mansfield to develop heat flashes and numbness in her legs.

Слайд 18 Mansfield suffered a fatal pulmonary

Mansfield suffered a fatal pulmonary haemorrhage in January 1923,

haemorrhage in January 1923, after running up a flight

of stairs to show Murry how well she was. She died on January 9 and was buried in a cemetery in the Fontainebleau District in the town of Avon.

Mansfield proved to be a prolific writer in the

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), the publication of her Poems, The Aloe, as well as a collection of critical writings (Novels and Novelists) and a number of editions of Mansfield's previously unpublished letters and journals.

Katherine Mansfield is widely considered one of the best

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 Anton Chekhov, and incorporated some of his themes and techniques into her writing.

in an antique shop. Before going to the car, Rosemary is approached by Miss Smith, a poor girl who asks for enough money to buy tea. Instead, Rosemary drives the girl to her plush house. At the Fells' home, Miss Smith eats her fill. She then begins to tell Rosemary of her life when the husband, Philip, comes in. Although initially surprised, Philip recovers and asks to speak to Rosemary alone. In the library, Philip conveys his disapproval. When Rosemary resists dismissing Miss Smith, Philip tries another, more successful, tactic. He plays to Rosemary's jealousy by telling her how pretty Miss Smith is. Rosemary retrieves three pound notes, and, presumably, sends the girl away. This dismissal is a far cry from Rosemary's first vow to "Be frightfully nice to her" and to "Look after her." Later, Rosemary goes to her husband and informs him "Miss Smith won't dine with us tonight." She first asks about the antique box from the morning, but then arrives at her true concern: She quietly asks him, "Am I pretty?"

The next morning they cannot wait to show it off to their school friends; Isabel bossily says she will be the one to decide who is allowed to come and see it in the house as she is the eldest. The Kelveys, two poor girls, Lil and "our" Else, will not be allowed to do so; Aunt Beryl talks Kezia out of letting them. Later, Isabel and two of her friends, Emmie Cole and Lena Logan, taunt the Kelveys about their low social status. Soon afterwards Kezia impulsively decides to show them the house anyway; Aunt Beryl, worried about an insisting letter from a certain Willie Brent, walks in on them, shoos away the Kelveys, scolds Kezia, then feels better. The Kelveys have managed to see the lamp though and Else smiles joyfully which is rare.And the story ends with them being silent once more.

Her sister Jose tests the piano, and then sings a song in case she is asked to do so again later. After the furniture is rearranged, they learn that their neighbor Mr. Scott has died. While Laura believes the party should be called off, neither Jose nor their mother agrees. The party is a success, and later Mrs. Sheridan decides it would be good to bring a basket full of leftovers to the Scotts' house. She summons Laura to do so. Laura is shown into the poor neighbors' house by Mrs. Scott's sister, then sees the widow and her late husband's corpse.

of kinship with the workers and again with the

Scotts. Her mother thinks it would embarrass them to receive flowers. An omniscient narrator also explains that as children Laura, Jose, Meg and Laurie were not allowed to go near the poor's dwellings, which spoil their vista.
Illusion versus reality. Laura is stuck in a world of high class housing, food, family and garden parties. She then discovers her neighbour from a lower class has died and she clicks back to reality upon discovering death.
Sensitivity and insensitivity Death and Life. The writer masterfully handles the theme of death and life in the short story. The realization of Laura that life is simply marvellous shows death of human being in a positive light. Death and life co-exist together and death seems to Laura merely a sound sleep far away from troubles in human life.
