Queer Kinship after Wilde investigates the afterlife of the
Decadent Movement's ideas about kinship, desire, and the family
during the modernist period within a global context. Drawing on
archival materials, including diaries, correspondence, unpublished
manuscripts, and photograph albums, it tells the story of
individuals with ties to late-Victorian Decadence and Oscar Wilde
who turned to the fin-de-siecle past for inspiration as they
attempted to operate outside the heteronormative boundaries
restricting the practice of marriage and the family. These
post-Victorian Decadents and Decadent modernists engaged in
translation, travel, and transnational collaboration in pursuit of
different models of connection that might facilitate their
disentanglement from conventional sexual and gender ideals. Queer
Kinship after Wilde attends to the successes and failures that
resulted from these experiments, the new approaches to affiliation
inflected by a cosmopolitan or global perspective that occurred
within these networks as well as the practices marked by
Decadence's troubling patterns of Orientalism and racial fetishism.
