Recensioner i media

"Wilde Now is an important contribution to the study of Oscar Wilde as a proto-postmodernist and his influence on current cultural and artistic styles and trends. … The richness of the research and scholarship that went into the creation of this study is evident in all of the chapters. The analysis of the Wildean strand in modern music is exceptionally rewarding. Wilde Now will undoubtedly be of value to both new and established scholars of Wilde’s life and literary oeuvre." (Graham Price, Irish Studies Review, April 4, 2025)
