From cottage cheese to Camembert, from Gorgonzola to Gruyere, there are entries on all of the major cheese varieties globally, but also many cheeses that are not well known outside of their region of production. ![]() In fact, after a long period of industrialized, processed, and standardized cheese, cheesemakers, cheesemongers, affineurs, and most of all consumers are rediscovering the endless variety of cheeses across cultures.The Oxford Companion to Cheese is the first major reference work dedicated to cheese, containing 855 A-Z entries on cheese history, culture, science, and production. Yet, after all of these thousands of years we are still finding new ways to combine the same four basic ingredients - milk, bacteria, salt, and enzymes - into new and exciting products with vastly different shapes, sizes, and colors, and equally complex and varied tastes, textures, and, yes, aromas. The discovery of cheese is a narrative at least 8,000 years old, dating back to the Neolithic era. ![]()

Mansfield’s women seek to both overthrow and become independent from the male. These women, their outer selves in conflict with their inner desires, seem to perform the role of the female whilst an external narrator dictates their movements in directorial fashion. Their inner thoughts are dictated by an external figure through the author’s free indirect discourse. They do not engage in subjective experience and seem to have ‘forgotten themselves’. Formulating a general world-view of the female, Mansfield reveals the suffering of the female’s unresolved issues of division between the rational and the physical. ![]() ![]() In her modernist short fiction, Katherine Mansfield explores Virginia Woolf’s notion that “women and fiction remain, so far as I am concerned, unsolved problems”.
