Symbolism and Iconography

edit

Broadly speaking, any person known to be or perceived as queer would continued to be a queer cultural touchstone thereafter (e.g. Frederick the Great and "Potsdamists")

  1. ^ My suspicions are related in part (but not completely) to Frederick the Great's gayngstiest poem, even though that's almost certainly about the muse, but if nothing else I wonder if it could have influenced Ulrichs.
  2. ^ "Lesbian" and "sapphic" were popularized as terms for female homosexuality in the late 19th century
  3. ^ Queerness was also often imputed to/assumed about their authors
