Oscar Wilde, Wilfred Owen, and Male Desire, 1st ed. 2015 Begotten, Not Made Palgrave Studies in Nineteenth-Century Writing and Culture Series

This book reads Oscar Wilde as a queer theorist and Wilfred Owen as his symbolic son. It centers on the concept of 'male procreation', or the generation of new ideas through an erotic but non-physical connection between two men, and it sees Owen as both a product and a continuation of this Wildean tradition.
