In
one of her most memorable images a good wife imagines giving her husband little
packets with her feelings in them, and his surprise as he opens the last packet
to find it full of hatred. Hatred was her favorite emotion.
Katherine’s early and reckless pursuit of experience brought atrocious punishments.
She lived, worked and died with the Furies on her heels.
–Claire Tomalin, A
Secret Life.
Katherine
Mansfield
Katherine Mansfield
was born in Wellington, New Zealand, in close proximity to the rising position
of her Primary Mars, the planet ruling “adventure” and the “passionate approach
to life”: qualities that are highlighted throughout her biography. New Zealand
is completely framed by a Transcendental Midpoint-Field formed by equally
aspected Secondary Jupiter and Secondary Neptune, each of which run parallel
to the coast of western New Zealand (Jupiter rises and Neptune sets there)
and extending to Primary Mars, which rises along the southern coast of New
Zealand.
Mansfield spent the first
nineteen years of her brief life within this Transcendental Midpoint-Field,
accumulating experiences that later formed the basis of short stories that
greatly influenced the course of modern literature. After her brother’s death
in 1915, she devoted herself to evoking the spirit of her New Zealand homeland
in collections such as Prelude
(1918), Bliss (1920), and The Garden Party (1922). Using language
to subtly create an “evocative atmosphere” (Secondary Neptune) rife with “emotional
conflict” (Primary Mars), she managed to shift the focus of the modern short
story to a deeper, more psychological level. This approach had a profound effect on the
development of the short story form: one said to equal Joyce’s influence on
the novel. Her work exerted a strong influence on another master of the story,
Ernest Hemingway. By serving as one of Hemingway’s primary influences, she
indirectly influenced an entire generation of writers. Her key Transcendentals
symbolize the “passionate, driving force” (Primary Mars) that fueled her
“expansive” (Secondary Jupiter) and “creative imagination” (Secondary Neptune).
