Surprisingly little has been written about homosexuality in
British Romantic writing, and, similarly, little discussion has
emerged about homosexual themes in the lives and poetic careers of
the major Romantics. In "Romantic Genius, " Andrew Elfenbein
explores the correspondence between the stereotypes applied to the
"genius" and those applied to the homosexual, showing the
centrality of disreputable desires to the works of Romantic male
authors -- from William Beckford to Samuel Taylor Coleridge to
William Blake -- as well as to the writings of lesser-known but
equally significant female authors of the period.
