Forty-seven writers of Uranian poetry and prose have been included in the two volumes of this anthology, including, in this first volume: Stanley Addleshaw, James Leslie Barford, John Francis Bloxam, Edwin Emmanuel Bradford, Reginald Baliol Brett, Viscount Esher, Horatio Robert Forbes Brown, Sir Richard Francis Burton, Edward Carpenter, George Douglas Howard Cole, Samuel Elsworth Cottam, Edward Alexander "Aleister" Crowley, Digby Mackworth Dolben, Lord Alfred Douglas, E.

These two volumes constitute the first substantial anthology of paederastic poetry and prose compiled since Men and Boys: An Anthology in 1924.
