Katherine Mansfield: A Fauvist, Colonial Outsider Encounters Bloomsbury stood out in the volume for its clear articulation and solid theorization of the role played by Mansfield’s colonial origins in her representations of perception. Gerri Kimber also argues compellingly for a reexamination of the relationship between Mansfield and Aldous Huxley in light of theirrepeated fictional representations of each other. Ruchi Mundeja’s essay on Mansfield’s critical representations of the imperial consumerism that underlay Bloomsbury’s bohemian revisions of domestic space makes a strong contribution to the developing body of work on modernist domesticity.
