Abstract

This review article considers recent work on the queer Victorian writer John Addington Symonds, a central figure in the history of homosexuality. It examines monographs by Shane Butler and Simon Joyce and a novel by Tom Crewe. It focusses, in particular, on the significance of embodiment and the senses in these works.
