The Collected Works and Commissioned Biography of Edward Perry Warren

These two volumes present a scholarly edition of the works of Edward Perry Warren (none of which, with a single exception, have ever been republished), complete with an introductory biography, extensive notes, translations, illustrations, and appendices. For the first time, the reader can hear Warren's voice in its full breadth – in his correspondence and other texts that form his biography, Edward Perry Warren: The Biography of a Connoisseur; in his conversation, captured in Osbert Burdett's An Imaginary Conversation; in his novel, A Tale of Pausanian Love (published here for the very first time); in his collection, The Wild Rose: A Volume of Poems; in his fairy tale, The Prince Who Did Not Exist; in his academic article, The Scandal of the Museo di Villa Giulia; in his pamphlet, Classical & American Education; in his retelling of three Greek legends, Alcmaeon, Hypermestra, Caeneus; and finally, in his magnum opus, the apology A Defence of Uranian Love.
