"Sage's book addresses LeFanu, and the issues his texts raise, with panache: he brings to bear a profound historical knowledge, particularly of the all-important Irish dimension of LeFanu's work, but also - and perhaps most strikingly - a keen awareness of narrative and rhetorical devices. I think I hardly need to say more: there is no other respectable book on LeFanu, and one is needed. Sage has, in my opinion, written it." -- David Punter, University of Bristol
