He would stand for nothing but perversion; utter disgust of a society that couldn't bear people like him.

Having recently codified my own approach to the arts (well, certainly literature) as that of a Generalist/Surveyor, I can't take an us/them, good/bad argument about literature *so* seriously. Titles are as follows "The Duchess of Padua", "Lady Windermere's Fan", "Miscellanies", "The Picture of Dorian Gray", "Reviews", "Salome A Florentine Tragedy, and Vera".
