(1915-1979) US writer of sf short stories who also wrote as Win Marks and used the pseudonyms Win Kinney and Ken Winney, each for just one story. He began publishing with "Mad Hatter" for Unknown in May 1940, but then, after "Manic Perverse" (October 1941 Astounding), was not heard of again until 1953 when he published The Water Eater (June 1953 Galaxy; 2010 ebook). He was then quite prolific, publishing nearly 60 further stories to 1959, with two final SF Magazine appearances in the late 1960s. His style was mildly hard-bitten and amusing; several of his stories were anthologized. [more]

At The End Of the Second Volume Of my 'Renaissance In italy' I Indulged The Hope That I Might Live To Describe The Phase Of culture Which Closed That Brilliant Epoch. It Was In truth Demanded That A Work Pretending to Display The Manifold Activity Of the Italian Genius During the 15Th Century And The First Quarter Of the 16Th, Should Also Deal With The Causes Which Interrupted Its Further Development Upon The Same Lines. This Study, Forming a Logically-Necessitated Supplement To The Five Former Volumes Of 'Renaissance In italy,' I Have Been Permitted To Complete. The Results Are Now Offered To The Public In these Two Parts. So Far As It Was Possible, I Have Conducted My Treatment Of the Catholic Revival On A Method Analogous To That Adopted For The Renaissance. I Found It, However, Needful To Enter More Minutely Into Details Regarding Facts And Institutions Connected With The Main Theme Of national Culture. [more]

John Addington Symonds (5 October 1840 – 19 April 1893) was an English poet and literary critic. Although he married and had a family, he was an early advocate of male love (homosexuality), which he believed could include pederastic as well as egalitarian relationships. He referred to it as l'amour de l'impossible (love of the impossible). A cultural historian, he was known for his work on the Renaissance, as well as numerous biographies about writers and artists. He also wrote much poetry inspired by his homosexual affairs. [more]
