A Gay Erotic Classic

Teleny is a homoerotic novel and an important antithesis to the prudish idealism of the neo-classic and neo-romantic lyric love poetry of the fin de siècle. It is a work of unmasking the cynical double moral standards of the Victorian era: The love of Camille and Teleny is shattered by social reprisals.
The book was published in 1893 in 200 copies by Leonard Smithers who praised it as being "the most powerful and cleverly written erotic Romance which has appeared in the English language" during that era, "a book which will certainly rank as the chief of its class."
