I just love what a wild ride it is. Talia Schaffer makes the argument in The Forgotten Female Aesthetes that the Aesthetic movement (Wilde and so on) owes a great deal to Ouida, especially the use of witty epigrammatic language. I think you'd love the Schaffer book as well; it's one of those rare books of criticism that's clear and concise and not jargony and has a real authorial voice that's not just professor talking.
