Author states: "The interaction between Swinburne and Pater as leading Aesthetic critics during the 1860s merits further consideration. Equally important, I would suggest, is understanding how and why these two writers staked out and occupied distinctive terrains for their work in the context of the all-male sexual politics of Victorian Aestheticism. For, as allies, both Swinburne and Pater celebrated androgynous beauty and evoked homoeroticism in an attempt to reimagine masculinity at the margins of conventional middle-class notions of manliness. But, simultaneously, as rivals, Swinburne and Pater reimagined masculinity from different positions, with significantly different results".
