The Homosexual Revival of Renaissance Style, 1850-1930 (Palgrave Studies in Nineteenth-Century Writing and Culture)

By Yvonne Ivory

Why were so many late-nineteenth-century homosexuals passionate about the Italian Renaissance? This book answers that question by showing how the Victorian coupling of criminality with self-fashioning under the sign of the Renaissance provided queer intellectuals with an enduring model of ruthlessly permissive individualism.
