This study challenges the notion that closeted secrecy was a
necessary part of social life for gay men living in the shadow of
the trial and imprisonment of Oscar Wilde. It reconstructs a
surprisingly open network of queer filiation in which Henry James
occupied a central place. The lives of its satellite figures - most
now forgotten or unknown - offer even more suggestive evidence of
some of the countervailing forms of social practice that could
survive even in that hostile era. If these men enjoyed such
exemption largely because of the prerogatives of class privilege,
their relative freedom was nevertheless a visible rebuke to the
reductive stereotypes of homosexuality that circulated and were
reinforced in the culture of the period. This book will be of
particular interest to scholars of Henry James and queer studies,
readers of late Victorian and modern literature, and those
interested in the history and social construction of gender roles.
