I''m so happy that you made this video. I knew pretty much nothing about Katherine Mansfield before I watched this and I feel like I learned a lot. She really did have an interesting life and now I'd like to read some of her stories. Thank you for this video- it was so well done!

This was such a brilliant video Holly! I never learnt anything about Mansfield at university - but this was because my university only let me read "English" literature, english being excessively literal beyond belief. I looooved this xxxx looooove you too

This video really helped me in my literature classes and my students loved your accent! Fantastic!

I attend a Women’s 12 step recovery group called Emotional Sobriety. It is in Maryland, USA. We talk about the Monday daily meditation readings from the Hazelton book mentioned below. It’s the second time I’ve read a quote from K.M. So I thought I would learn a little bit about her. Thank you for the 101. I look forward to learning more. Also thank you for taking the time include the links. Our reading for today is: Each Day a New Beginning Daily Meditations for Women Monday, February 3 When we begin to take our failures non-seriously, it means we are ceasing to be afraid of them. It is of immense importance to learn to laugh at ourselves. -Katherine Mansfield Perfectionism and its control over our lives stands seriously in the way of our growth and well-being, emotionally, spiritually, and even physically. Life's lessons come through failures probably more than successes. Through our failures we learn humility. We learn to look to others for help and guidance. We learn how to let others fail, too. We fail because we are human. When we no longer fear failure, we are free to attempt greater feats. We dare to learn more, and life is fuller for it--not just our own lives, but the lives that we touch. Laughter over our mistakes eases the risk of trying again. Laughter keeps us young, and the lighthearted find more pleasure in each day. I will fail at something I try today. I can laugh about it, though. My laughter will open the way to another try.

Thank you for this fascinating and informative biography ! I read The Garden Party back in may and I loved it ! x

Thank you for this introduction! I will study some of Mansfield's short stories at uni this semester so it is a great way to get into it. Love from France!

I had never heard of Katherine Mansfield until you out this video up. So I was excited to learn more and while I was browsing my local charity shop I stumbled across a copy of the garden party and other stories, looking forward to jumping straight into it.

Outstanding overview of Mansfield. You've inspired me to start with The Garden Party and Other Stories.

Anne, you do speak so beautifully and informatively. I am an instructor of short stories, and I will no doubt use your video as an excellent biography of Katherine Mansfield. I liked how openly you discussed the truthful details about her life. You mentioned "Miss Brill" as a story you would recommend for those wishing to become familiar with Katherine Mansfield's writing. I agree. It is one of two stories I teach. The other story, one that is not only my favorite of her stories but one of my very favorite short stories I've ever read, is "The Doll's House." I admit to being sensitive, no doubt, but this story just grabs at me and often brings tearful eyes every time I read it. "The Doll's House" has my favorite final spoken line in all of literature, a line which precedes the final sentence and is so incredibly powerful and emotional despite the simplicity and brevity of its words. That line reads " 'I seen the little lamp,' she said, softly." It is so perfect! I just know Katherine Mansfield understood the feelings of children so well. She couldn't have written a story like this without such sensitivities. I taught "Miss Brill" and "The Doll's House" to children just ages ten and eleven back in the 1970s and 80s. Here I am now teaching the same two stories to adults. It is a tribute to Katherine's ability to express so beautifully that both age groups could appreciate her work. I need to read more of her short stories, not only to be on the search for other stories to teach but simply for my own enjoyment. What a shame that Katherine lived so few years. A woman like this had so much more to give us all. Thank you again for how nicely you introduced this author, and you did so without notes and with enthusiasm, making it such a good video.

We have Bliss on our module for this semester and to be honest I wasn't expecting too much from it before reading it, but wow I loved it so much!

Me and my friend have started a book club for our students in Japan and she's recommended "The Voyage" by Katherine Mansfield for our next meeting. I'd never read her before, so after checking out the story I turned to KZfaq to see if anyone had posted anything about her. This video couldn't have been more perfect. Thanks!

Thank you so much! This video is so interesting and so helpful for my exam preparation!

yes طالبة سادس اعدادي هنا😂😂😂☹️

Thank you! You've helped me a lot with my uni assignment 💛

I'd love to hear more about Mansfield! Great video! Thank you!

What a interesting life Katherine had ! fab video and loved the seeing the photos too thankyou : )

*كل التعليقات قديمه* 😯😐

Great Video. Thank you for making it. I've never of her before today and I wanted to know who she was before reading her story "Carnation"

I knew a little bit about Katherine Mansfield, as we studied The Garden Party in Year 13 English. I really loved The Garden Party and have been meaning to read more from Katherine Mansfield but just haven't yet. I feel like your video has inspired me to actually read more Katherine Mansfield.

Really interesting and great video. Katherine Mansfield is a writer I've been meaning to read for ages, and a few days ago I bought a copy of selected stories from a charity shop, if only to finally have a hard copy of at least some of her stories, so I've no excuse not to read her soon. Your video's got me looking up her relationship with Virginia Woolf now... interesting that she reviewed Woolf's second novel, Night and Day, criticising its failure to address the effect of the war on society and fiction, which (as is said elsewhere online) she went on to confront in her more radical following novels. Amusing, considering Woolf was so adamant about the necessity for new forms of expression in writing! And what a shame that Katherine Mansfield never got to read Mrs Dalloway or To The Lighthouse.

I really liked this video! I'm pretty sure I had never heard of Katherine Mansfield before BookTube, seeing as my literary education was very US and England-centric. Always trying to branch out with literature and reading authors from as many countries as possible, and Mansfield is on my list. I don't think I'll be able to get my hands on any of her works in a physical format anytime soon, but she is one that I'll definitely keep in mind. Maybe I should start with the Little Black Classic edition :]

My father just bought me a book containing a collection of her short stories and it's the first time i see her name...

thank you so much for your video!

Very interesting video. I always find the lives of past authors so fascinating. I'm not really a fan on the short story, but maybe that's because I've never found any that have touched me in some way. If I was to read just one story by Mansfield, which one would you recommend I read?

Loved this video! I read Miss Brill in high school and it's one of the only stories that stuck with me so I'm definitely interested in reading more of her work. Speaking of New Zealand authors...I'm traveling to NZ in November. Any other authors you would recommend checking out before I go? I'm currently read the Bone People by Keri Hulme. (I would also welcome any travel suggestions! :) )

She sounds like an amazing woman. I always reading and hearing about historical queer authors. I will certainly be reading the Montana Stories along with you!

I read Virginia Woolf's quote about Katherine Mansfield's work somewhere but I didn't know that were quite connected. I read The Garden Party three years ago but I still have a vivid memory of it! I definitely want to read more work of hers as she sound exactly as the type of author I am interested. Thanks for the video which was very informative and well constructed :). Oh yes! Regarding her fiction work, did she only wrote short stories?

good way to get a brief description.

انا صف سادس ادبي وعجبتني قصة الكناري وحليمة شكرا

What a woman! Definitely must read something about her. Do you have a video on New Zealand's authors or would you consider making one? Also, pretty pretty blouse!

For me, the best KM story, short and succinct is "A Dill Pickle". It concerns her meeting, unexpectedly, a former lover. Seems semi-autobiography to me. Beautiful. I love this video. Thanks for uploading.

do it plzzzz!! i love katherine mansfield and wanna learn more about her!!

thank you

Interesting video.

Hello lam Ahmed for lraq and l have question for you

sorry this comment isn't on the video but ... your top is adorable!!

Brazil (portuguese): Obrigado pelo vídeo, gostei das informações. Aqui há muitos leitores dela, não tanto ainda quanto de Virginia Woolf, mas tudo bem. Se gosta delas então sugiro uma escritora brasileira: Clarice Lispector. Mas não deixe de ler Machado de Assis, um dos maiores escritores que já existiu, apesar do hemisfério norte ainda estar descobrindo. Bye!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

hi

Please I wanted move of the doll's house for Catherine Mansfield

2019 baby

لدينا قصه الكناري في كتابنا الادب

I love Virginia Woolf, but weirdly I've never heard about her friendship/connection to Katherine Mansfield. You're the first person, that mentioned her at all! But she sounds like such an interesting and complex lady and this video makes me wanna pick up everything by her (especially with your hand-made covers). I feel like her popularity suffered from her choice in genre and obviously, because of the gender, so it needs fixing! Some big publisher needs to re-invent her.

tell me why!!!!!! you cry!!!

thank you
