Oscar Wilde's Profession is essential reading as a bold debunking of those accounts of Wilde which, while claiming to liberate his political agenda, have tended to limit both the man and his oeuvre ... Guy and Small's careful evaluations provide a new benchmark for critical standards in an area dominated by overdetermined theories of sexuality and textuality. They may present a less attractive Oscar, but they certainly establish a more accurate Wilde that reveals more facets of a myriad-minded complexity. Modern Language Review Guy and Small's measured assessment of the progressive trajectory of Wilde's career challenges many commonplace myths about his spectacular rise and fall in the cultural arena ... accomplished and highly significant study. Modern Language Review The book is extremely well written, and clear in its approach and aims. The Journal of the Oscar Wilde Society
