Michèle Mendelssohn is a literary critic and cultural historian. She is Associate Professor of English Literature at the University of Oxford. *****Praise for MAKING OSCAR WILDE***** "Making Oscar Wilde is a fresh, exciting, and illuminating study of the construction of celebrity and reputation . . . The story of St. Oscar will never be the same." -- Elaine Showalter, Professor Emerita of English, Princeton University and Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature "One of the most devastating, complex, and presently political literary biographies I’ve ever read." -- Eileen Myles, poet and author of "Chelsea Girls" "An original, meticulously-researched, and beautifully-paced account of how a modern writer invented himself, and was invented, as an international artist-celebrity." -- Declan Kiberd, Professor of Irish Studies, University of Notre Dame and author of "Ulysses and Us" "Vividly written, consistently illuminating, and lavishly illustrated, this book is full of surprises, above all in showing how Wilde’s Irishness played into the story of race relations in post-Civil War America." -- Michael Gorra, author of "Portrait of a Novel: Henry James and the Making of an American Masterpiece" "A scholastic triumph, this highly original book rewrites the story of Oscar’s tour of America with new, vivid detail, from fresh, unmined sources. Mendelssohn not only offers us a surprising view of Oscar through the lens of nineteenth-century America, but refocuses the young Wilde for a new generation." -- Franny Moyle, author of "Constance: The Tragic and Scandalous Life of Mrs Oscar Wilde" *****Praise for HENRY JAMES, OSCAR WILDE AND AESTHETIC CULTURE***** “Fascinating” -- The Scotsman “Tremendously impressive... exceptionally strong.” -- Victorian Studies “A rewarding and original book” -- 19: Interdisciplinary Studies in the Long Nineteenth Century “Impressive… scrupulous scholarship… ground-breaking analysis” -- Journal of American Studies
