(no subject)

I randomly picked up a volume of American Literary History this afternoon while procrastinating, and found an article about the Little Lord Fauntleroy phenomenon, and queering LLF, and latent homo-eroticism brought out in the original illustrations, and the velvet suits being a way for mothers to enact gender-play with their young sons.

On the one hand, I REALLY DID NOT WANT TO THINK ABOUT THIS RE: A BELOVED CHILDHOOD BOOK.

On the other, how have I missed all of that for so long?
