Kritik
"Stern reveals the overlooked significance of Wilde's encounters with multidisciplinary periodical literature and surveys his considerable contribution to fin de siècle periodical culture. ... his influence upon periodical culture was equally significant and deserving of study by both scholars and enthusiasts." (Rebecca Nesvet, Victorian Periodicals Review, Vol. 53 (2), 2020)

"Oscar Wilde: A Literary Life is a well-researched, well written account of Wilde's intellectual life and how he thought. readers will, though, enjoy stern's study to the fullest if they come to it with a thoroughgoing knowledge of what Wilde thought, by close acquaintance with his works and by having already read a more traditional kind of biography." (Aaron Eames, The Wildean, July, 2020)mehr
