Uranian poetry
The Uranians were a small and somewhat clandestine group of English pederastic poets (many of whom were university graduates of Oxford or Cambridge), a group writing between 1858 (when William Johnson Cory published Ionica) and 1930. Their name is commonly believed to derive from the work of the German theorist and campaigner Karl Heinrich Ulrichs in the 1860s, with the name later taken up by John Addington Symonds and others who rendered it as 'Uranian'.
