Reviews

'Tufescu's wide range of learning and ability to bring this learning deftly to bear on the topic at hand make the book a consistently engaging read.' - Bruce Bashford, English Literature in Transition, 1880-1920 '[an] adept and rich study - one of the overiding strengths of this work is its readability. Tufescu deftly leads even the cautious reader through her argument, almost in spite of her own wit, engaging in the very witticisms for which Wilde is famed.' - Lauren Clark, Irish Studies Review 'One senses here not only the operation of a capacious mind, but also a wit worthy of her subject.' - Michele Mendelssohn, Review of English Studies
