Wendy Graham

Wendy Graham is a Professor and Associate Chair of the Department of English at Vassar College. She is the author of Henry James’s Thwarted Love (Stanford 1999), which places the novelist and his works within key discursive frameworks that emerged during his lifetime: mental hygiene, sexology, psychology, and anthropology. Her forthcoming book, Critics, Coteries, and Pre-Raphaelite Celebrity (Columbia University Press), is an account of male celebrity and homoeroticism in the lives and works of British Pre-Raphaelite painters, critics, and writers that became the models that Oscar Wilde would follow.
