DESCRIPTION:
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 homoerotic novel Teleny is an important antithesis to the prudish idealism of the neo-classic and neo-romantic lyric love poetry of the fin du siecle. 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 that will certainly rank as the chief of its class."
sLy said Two Stars. I don't think Oscar really wrote all of this.. Arla Thomas said book. Excellent writing. Very sexual. If Oscar truely wrote it he had alot of passion. I guess that goes without question.. "Accurate and up to date" according to Robert Reising. Truly a classic of homosexual literature. I first read the Teleny almost 50 years ago when I was in my 20's. Now, after a life-time of experiences, spanning from the 1950's up to today (201Accurate and up to date Truly a classic of homosexual literature.

Now, after a life-time of experiences, spanning from the 1950's up to today (2013), I am flabbergasted at how accurately and completely the text, which was written over 100 years ago, describes male homosexual love: emotions and sex acts. Although the story's setting is apparently France at the end of the nineteenth century, the feelings and actions of the characters are as up-to-date as if they were taking place today.
