John Addington Symonds (Bristol 1840 - Rome 1893) was one of
Victorian Britain's most prolific authors, with works that included
poems, translations, travel essays, and scholarly studies on topics
ranging from classical literature to the Renaissance to the poetry
of his contemporaries. Today, however, he is usually remembered for
his long unpublished Memoirs, a major early monument of queer
life-writing, and for two privately printed, secretly circulated
essays, one of which includes the earliest printed appearance in
English of the word homosexual. This new word, first coined in
German, has long provided a useful milestone for historians of
sexuality charting the emergence not only of new typologies but of
whole new regimes of knowledge. But what of the rest of Symonds's
vast body of work? This book returns to Symonds, not as the origin
of a now familiar history, but as a far more complex thinker, with
an ambitious vision of the queerness of the world itself-and of
what it means to live in it.
