走向天堂：阿尔弗雷德·道格拉斯《动物的胡言乱语》中的欲望与堕落

阿尔弗雷德·道格拉斯勋爵（Lord Alfred Douglas）是奥斯卡·王尔德（Oscar Wilde）的情人，他的风信子（Hyacinthus），一个金发碧眼的年轻人，他的父亲的指控导致了王尔德的公开失败。道格拉斯并没有因为写儿童文学而被人们记住。1然而，他的第一本无厘头的书——《扭曲的尾巴》（1898年），以笔名《比利时兔子》出版，书中有插图诗句，描述了从鲸鱼到黄鼠狼等生物的滑稽行为，因此受到了人们的欢迎。该集早期的一首诗提醒读者要避开羚羊：

期刊介绍： Founded in 1962 to further the aesthetic study of the poetry of the Victorian Period in Britain (1830–1914), Victorian Poetry publishes articles from a broad range of theoretical and critical angles, including but not confined to new historicism, feminism, and social and cultural issues. The journal has expanded its purview from the major figures of Victorian England (Tennyson, Browning, the Rossettis, etc.) to a wider compass of poets of all classes and gender identifications in nineteenth-century Britain and the Commonwealth. Victorian Poetry is edited by John B. Lamb and sponsored by the Department of English at West Virginia University.
