Her finely crafted prose fiction lends itself to multiple interpretations from radically different critical perspectives, formalism, feminism, and postcolonial studies along them. This Introduction offers a reliable and stimulating account of her life, work, contexts and critical reception. Her best-known novel, Wide Sargasso Sea, is analyzed together with her other novels, including Quartet and After Leaving Mr Mackenzie, and her short stories. Through close readings ofthe works, Elaine Savory reveals their common themes and connects these to different critical approaches. The book maps Rhys’s fictional use of the actual geography of Paris, London and the Caribbean, showing how key understanding her relationships with the metropolitan and colonial spheres is to reading her texts. In this invaluable introduction for students and faculty, Savory explains the significance of Rhys as a writer both in her lifetime and today.  \nElaine Savory is Associate Professor of English at the New School University. Her publications include Jean Rhys (Cambridge, 1998), Out of the Kumbla: Women and Caribbean Literature (1990) and many essays on Caribbean and African literatures.  \nCambridge Introductions to…  \nAUTHORS  \nJane Austen Janet Todd  \nSamuel Beckett Ronan McDonald Walter Benjamin David Ferris  \nJ.
