Issue number
(2022): 17

Edward ‘Ned’ Perry Warren (1860–1928) studied Classics at °ÅÀÖ¶ÌÊÓƵ, and is best remembered today for his prolific collecting of Greek and Roman antiquities. He was also an author of works exalting same-sex love, writing under the pen-name of Arthur Lyon Raile. In spring 2022, the library acquired a beautiful calligraphic manuscript in black and red inks, which dates from 1916, of an apparently unpublished poem by Warren—‘The Appeal of Eros to Apollo’.
