A Portrait of Katherine Mansfield
Description
Filmed in five countries, this program traces the life of New Zealand's most beloved writer from her birth in Wellington in 1888, to her untimely death in France in 1923. Mansfield's extraordinary ability as a writer was influenced by the many fascinating aspects of her complex and often enigmatic personality. The courage she displayed in flaunting many of the conventions of her day places her firmly in the category of "women ahead of their time." Her friendships with fellow members of the Bloomsbury Group-Virginia Woolf, D. H. Lawrence, Bertrand Russell-are closely examined, as is her marriage to critic John Middleton Murray.
