Before queer theory : Victorian aestheticism and the self / Dustin Friedman.

• Homoerotic subjectivity in Walter Pater's early essays -- Styles of survival in Pater's later writings -- Oscar Wilde's lyric performativity -- Vernon Lee and the specter of lesbian history -- Queering indifference in Michael Field's ekphrastic poetry.

• "This book of literary criticism, about the historical relationship of art, sexuality, and the self, demonstrates that Victorian aestheticism was a key forerunner to modern queer theory. By theorizing aestheticism through Hegel's philosophy, the author argues that Victorian aesthetes imagined that encountering art and literature could help to shape a person's queer sense of self"--
