Katherine Mansfield
Katherine Mansfield, née en **1888** en Nouvelle-Zélande et morte en **1923** en France, est une figure majeure de la nouvelle littéraire moderne. Son premier recueil, *In a German Pension*, publié en **1911**, puise dans son expérience douloureuse d’un séjour en cure en Bavière, après une fausse couche et un mariage raté. Son écriture, influencée par Tchekhov, se distingue par une ironie subtile et une attention aiguë aux détails humains. Mansfield a marqué la littérature par sa capacité à capturer les émotions et les tensions sociales en quelques pages, devenant une référence pour des auteurs comme Virginia Woolf.
