Show transcript
Mansfield (1888-1923) was a New Zealand writer and critic.
Mansfield was part of the modernist movement: she rejected traditional ideas about what literature should look like.
‘The Fly’ presents two men, both of whom lost their sons in World War One.
‘The Fly’ (1922) was perhaps inspired by her own experiences of loss in World War One: her brother was killed in 1915.
