Xiao, Qian. Mansifei'erde he ta de "Yi ge yi hun nan zi de zi shu" [ID D30063]
"…The extraordinary from out of the irdinary is one of the most important features of Mansfield's work. With a highly artistic summarization and detailed, true to life descriptions, she has created a gallery of unforgettable portraits, and by delineating different layers of human psychology, she has revealed the inner world of her characters. Mansfield lived only until the age of thirty-four, her career spanning just over ten years. A married man's story was one of her masterpieces produced in the mid-years of her career, when her early years' humour and irony gradually gave way to a mood of sentiment and depression. This must have been related to the unfortunate episodes that she had undergone in her love and marriage. As her life experience grew, so the theme of her work deepened, and her artistic summary of the evils and injustice of bourgeois society, powerfully appealing, has left much food for thought."
