Synopsis
The works of Katherine Mansfield (1888-1923), one of England's most gifted short story writers, have influenced over eight decades of writers. A friend to Virginia Woolf, D. H. Lawrence, and Bertrand Russell, Mansfield left a literary legacy collected in The Garden Party, In a German Pension, and numerous anthologies. Biographies appearing after her death idealized her, but Meyers sets the record straight in his assessment of the author's life and career, revealing a woman with a self-destructive disdain for convention and respectability. Born and raised in New Zealand, Mansfield threw herself into several love affairs with men and women before living with literary critic John Middleton Murray. Meyers chronicles their tempestuous relationship (one that mixed abuse with devotion) and the years she fought a losing battle with tuberculosis.

From Library Journal
Mansfield's short, unhappy life is dissected in this 1978 title. Meyers, whose biographies tend to focus on his subject's shortcomings, has a field day with Mansfield, whose life seemed to be one long string of failed friendships, doomed affairs, and other heartbreaks. Throughout it all, however, she managed to focus on her writing and produce some very good material before her untimely death from tuberculosis at age 34.
