"Her careful and helpful Introduction to Fernandoa Pessoa . . . manages to present complex elucidations in language of admirable plainness, mercifully free of jargon. The notes at the end of her work, as well as much of the text itself, are a mine of information about Pessoa, his work, and recent interpretations." -- W.S. Merwin, New York Review of Books

"At long last an introduction to Pessoa (1888-1935) that gives US readers a comprehensive and competent account of perhaps the greatest and most complex of the European modernist poets. . . . Very highly recommended for both general readers and specialists, Sadlier's volume should be required reading for students and courses on early-20th-century modernist literature at all levels." -- K.D. Jackson, Yale University

"This efficient book fills a gap in Pessoa studies. In direct, orderly, and unencumbered prose it presents the English-speaking reader with a clear sense of many of the salient features of Pessoa's remarkable literary achievement. . . . An Introduction to Fernando Pessoa will be useful both to newcomers to Pessoa and to old hands who continue to labor in the vineyards of Pessoa scholarship." -- World Literature Today

"This re-examination of one of the most unusual projects of European modernism will definitely contribute to broadening the understanding of Portuguese modernism to an English-speaking public."-- South Atlantic Review

"A highly readable and accessible study, which is underpinned by meticulous research. It will thus be of considerable interest to Lusophiles and non-specialists alike, and will be of use to those working in the field of comparative literature, in particular." -Modern Language Review
