Reviews

... [Edwards's] erudition is impressive...Edwards's book is certainly readable, while his patent admiration for a remarkable artist is affecting and infectious. Alfred Gilbert's Aestheticism provocatively complements the excellent if more orthodox biographical achievements of Richard Dorment. The Burlington Magazine
