This essay examines the way England's well-known Bloomsbury group in the first decades of this century negotiated the legacy of prominent figures of the generation before in order to create its own identity. Looking at the group's ideas about both aesthetics and sexuality, the author shows how the group privileged Leo Tolstoy over J. A. M. Whistler, and Oscar Wilde over Walter Pater. The introduction and conclusion seek to set this study in the context of current issues in gay and lesbian studies.
本文探讨了本世纪头几十年英国著名的布鲁姆斯伯里团体如何处理上一代杰出人物的遗产，以塑造自身身份。通过审视该团体在美学和性取向方面的观点，作者展示了该团体如何更看重列夫·托尔斯泰而非J. A. M. 惠斯勒，以及奥斯卡·王尔德而非沃尔特·佩特。引言和结论旨在将这项研究置于当前同性恋研究的背景之中。
