"[Twells] has contributed to a significant area of scholarship with this fine study that substantially extends our knowledge of the complex interrelated issues of the English metropole and imperial periphery. She has moved the debate in fruitful directions with a fresh and compelling narrative." - Patricia Grimshaw, University of Melbourne
