AUTHORS

Reverend E. E. Bradford (1860-1944) was an English clergyman best known for his twelve volumes of Greek love verse, of which we have published an anthology and biography, My Love Is Like All Lovely Things, now in its second edition.

Michael Davidson (1897-1975) was an English journalist. His best-known books were two memoirs, The World, the Flesh and Myself and Some Boys, which went through several editions but then fell out of print until we republished them. He also left a third memoir, unfinished at his death, which together with his correspondence, some reminiscences by those who knew him and a short biography, were finally published by us as Sicilian Vespers and Other Writings.

Frank Demelzi is an Amsterdam writer and teacher who dedicated his professional life to introducing young people to the beauty of the arts. He retired to the quieter north of the Netherlands to dedicate himself to his third love, refurbishing and maintaining old sailing boats.

Alfred Grünewald (1884-1942) was an Austrian poet, aphorist, playwright, essayist, novelist, short-story writer and architect. In his lifetime he was critically acclaimed but met with only modest success, mostly in small circles of fellow authors. Forced into exile in Nice in 1939, he was delivered to the Nazis by the Vichy regime in 1942 and murdered in Auschwitz. His work, and especially his exquisite lyric poetry, is suffused with his love for teenage boys.

Edmund Marlowe is an English writer and independent scholar. His only book has been a novel, Alexander’s Choice, republished by us, but he has also edited our editions of Michael Davidson’s books (including writing a short biography of Davidson in Sicilian Vespers and Other Writings).
