As the foremost white West Indian writer of this century, Jean Rhys has attracted much critical attention, most often from the perspective of gender analysis. Veronica Gregg extends our critical appreciation of Rhys by analysing the complex relationship between Rhys's identity and the structures of her fiction, and reveals the ways in which this relationship is connected to the history of British colonization of the West Indies.
