Dr. Michael Matthew Kaylor is an Associate Professor in the Department of English and American Studies at Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic. Born on December 2, 1968, in Kettering, Ohio, USA, he earned his Ph.D. in English Literature from the University of Szeged, Hungary, in 2005. Prior to this, he completed both his M.A. (1994) and B.A. (1992) in English at the University of Akron, Ohio.

Dr. Kaylor's academic career at Masaryk University began in 2003 as a guest lecturer, leading to his current position as an assistant professor in 2005. His teaching portfolio includes courses on British Cultural Studies, English Romantic and Victorian Poetry, Modernism, Literary and Cultural Theory, and Gay Studies. His research interests are diverse, encompassing Romantic and Victorian poetry, the Uranian movement, British Decadence, textual editing, biography theory, book culture, and Victorian pederasty.

Publications

Among his notable publications is "Secreted Desires: The Major Uranians—Hopkins, Pater and Wilde" (2006), a comprehensive 497-page study. Multiple reviews commend "Secreted Desires" as a detailed and meticulously researched work. Reviewers acknowledge its contribution to understanding Victorian same-sex desire and how these writers navigated societal restrictions of their time.

Kaylor's editorial work on Forrest Reid’s The Garden God: A Tale of Two Boys (2007) is appreciated for bringing attention to a neglected text. His introduction and annotations are praised for providing valuable historical and literary context.

Kaylor is described as a pioneering scholar in the study of the Uranian poets, a group of late 19th-century British writers who idealized relationships between men and adolescent boys. There are many of his publications on this topic.
