Abstract

V originále

This paper examines the pederastic pedagogy practiced by the Eton master William Johnson (later Cory), particularly as this relates to his fostering of the Uranian movement through the verses of his 'Ionica'. It provides a close reading of his poem 'An Invocation', a poem that employs the Classical story of the imprisoned goatherd Comatas, who was sustained through the intervention of the Muses, to illustrate the boxed positionality of the Victorian Uranians.

In Czech

Článek se věnuje pederastické pedagogice praktikované učitelem soukromé školy v Etonu Williamem Johnsonem (později zvaným Cory), a to především ve vztahu k tomu, jak jeho verše "Ionica" podporovaly hnutí tzv. Uranistů. V této souvislosti je detailně analyzována jeho báseň "An Invocation", jež zpracovává klasický příběh pastevce koz Comatase, uvězněného v cedrové bedně a krmeného díky zásahu Múz, a představujícího paralelu ke skrývaným pozicím viktoriánských Uranistů.
