Is it the same to say 'with neither' or 'without both' or 'with miss' in this context? What part of speech is 'neither' here?

He had, in short, all the Byronic ennui with neither of the Byronic outlets: genius and adultery.

Neither is a conjunction meaning 'not one or the other of two'. 'Without both' would be clumsy ('without' alone would work), and 'with miss' doesn't mean anything in English.
