Reviews

"'This book makes a major contribution in an important and largely neglected field. It heralds the coming of age not only the study of the colonial interior but the interior more generally, a field which stands at the intersection of design history, architectural history, anthropology, cultural geography and social and imperial history.' Professor Tim Barringer, Yale University"
