Mansfield is a literary historical novel centred on the life of celebrated modernist writer Katherine Mansfield during the years of the First World War. Written by acclaimed New Zealand author C. K. Stead, the novel explores Mansfield’s relationships, artistic struggles, emotional life, and determination to create a new form of fiction during a period of upheaval and transformation.

Blending biography with fiction, the book brings to life the literary circles surrounding Mansfield, including figures such as Virginia Woolf, D. H. Lawrence, Aldous Huxley, and Bertrand Russell. The result is an intimate portrait of one of the twentieth century’s most important literary voices.
