Zusammenfassung:"In Victorian Keats: Manliness, Sexuality, and Desire, James Najarian shows how the life and work of John Keats influenced nineteenth-century writers' beliefs and fantasies about sexuality and its relationship to poetry. Keats was lambasted by critics throughout the nineteenth century for his sensuousness and his 'effeminacy.' The Victorians simultaneously identified with, imitated, and distrusted the 'unmanly' poet. Writers came to terms with Keats's work by creating out of the 'effeminate' poet a sexual and literary ally. Victorian Keats argues that Keats's poetry helped create the language of nineteenth-century sexuality, and the ways that men conceived their desires."--BOOK JACKET.
