I feel as fastidious as though I write with acid'. This book explores Mansfield's idiosyncratic aesthetic by focusing on her position as an outsider in Britain: a New-Zealander, a woman writer, a Fuavist, and eventually a consumptive. Her sharp-edged fiction is discussed in relation to her involvement with Post-Impressionist painting and painters.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eANGELA SMITH is Senior Lecturer in English Studies and Director of the Centre of Commonwealth Studies at the Universe of Sterling.
