About this book

Salamensky investigates Oscar Wilde, his contemporaries, and the public frenzy over his work and life as illustrating the crucial importance of performance in the construction of the 'modern' and our own, postmodern, lives.

Reviews

"[Salamensky's] insights, couched in stylish prose and backed up by deep scholarship, merit a place in Wilde studies. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty." - CHOICE

"Truly groundbreaking This is not only an extremely incisive example of historical/cultural scholarship - impacting performance studies, literary criticism, popular culture studies, and literary/cultural history - it also gives us the first extended work on Oscar Wilde through the lens of Jewish Studies. Salamensky opens many doors here - and proceeds to go through them with depth, insight, and synthesis." - Frederick S. Roden, associate professor of English, University of Connecticut
