Katherine Mansfield

Katherine Mansfield (1888–1923) is one of New Zealand’s most celebrated authors. Many of her short stories explore New Zealand identity and its landscapes, and her work has been a shaping force of the short story genre. Mansfield moved to England at the age of nineteen where she lived a bohemian life and associated with members of the Bloomsbury group, challenging many social norms of her time. She died of tuberculosis at the age of thirty-two after seeking various treatments throughout Europe.
