- ‘Naturalism against Nature considerably expands our understanding of how the international literary movement known as Naturalism manifested itself in selected but fully representative writers in Portugal and Brazil... A very useful study and one that should be regarded as required reading for all students and scholars interested in Naturalism and its importance to the Lusophone world.’ — Earl E. Fitz, Bulletin of Spanish Studies 97.9, October 2020, 1559-1560 (full text online)
- ‘The transnational dimensions of literary Naturalism operating between Brazil and Portugal are explored in this excellently written book by David Bailey.’ — Richard Cleminson, Modern Language Review 116.4, October 2021, 667-68 (full text online)
- ‘Contribui o estudo, portanto, para uma melhor compreensão da particularidade da expressão literária naturalista em Portugal e no Brasil.’ — Patrícia H. Baialuna de Andrade, Journal of Lusophone Studies 6.1, Spring 2021
