Anniversary of Death, Memories of Love

“This year marks the 90th anniversary of the death of [New Zealand writer] Katherine Mansfield, who was famous for her short stories, sexual ambiguity and string of lovers,” Adam Sonin writes for the Hampstead and Highgate Express. In the latest of the newspaper’s series exploring the lives of people commemorated with blue plaques (permanent signs installed in London public places to commemorate a link between that location and a famous person or event), Sonin looks at the passionate relationship of writers John Middleton Murry and Mansfield, in the second of a two-part article.
