Kevin Saliou studies Isidore Ducasse’s homosexuality, whether supposed or proven. What did it mean to be homosexual during the Second Empire? How did one experience one’s marginality in a repressive society? In Paris, a community was allowed to gather in certain key places, all of which appear in song VI and perhaps call for a rereading of the wanderings of Mervyn and Maldoror.
