Hello Roberto,

I was very interested in reading the abstract of your paper on John Gibson. I'm doing my master's thesis on an obscure Victorian Decadent writer, R Murray Gilchrist, who was similar in many ways to Vernon Lee. Both writers were allegedly gay and made frequent references to a wide range of writers, musicians, painters and sculptors who did sexual transgressive or homoerotic work. Lee makes passing reference to Gibson in her story "Dionea," and your paper shows that he fits this "coding" pattern. I'd be very interested in reading your paper in its entirety.
