Interesting scholarly overview of the prominent writers, artists, and iconoclasts of Victorian England who turned the Victorian view of sexuality upside down. Primary characters include Sir Richard Burton, Oscar Wilde, Dante Gabriel Rosetti, Algernon Charles Swinburne, and others who are less remembered today but no less influential in the movement.
