Overview: The title I have chosen — Secreted Desires: The Major Uranians: Hopkins, Pater and Wilde — is intentionally provocative, prompted by my belief that literary criticism has shied away from or distorted any direct engagement of the paederastic elements within the lives and works of these Victorians, even in those instances where literary criticism has been bold enough to consider the homoerotic elements. In what follows, I will attempt a corrective interpretation, hoping to demarcate the distinctly paederastic elements often hidden beneath the complex surfaces of their texts, texts that are highly nuanced and intended primarily for a select group of readers (perhaps a subculture), fittingly labelled ‘Uranian’ by Timothy d’Arch Smith in "Love in Earnest: Some Notes on the Lives and Writings of English ‘Uranian’ Poets from 1889 to 1930."
