Junius Lucien Price (January 6, 1883 – March 30, 1964), who also published under the name Seymour Deming,[1] was the author of more than a dozen books and a writer for publications such as the Boston Evening Transcript and The Atlantic Monthly.
Prince had "lengthy and lively correspondence with Headmaster Joel B. Hayden" and, near the end of his life, made arrangements to transfer approximately 3,000 volumes of his personal library to Western Reserve Academy.
[2] While there, although not 'out' he was fairly open about his homosexuality and several of his early books relate the love affair he had there with a fellow Harvard student.
Several chapters of Douglass Shand-Tucci's book "The Crimson Letter: Harvard, Homosexuality, and the Shaping of American Culture"[4] are devoted to Price.
This group of material includes notes, manuscripts, typescripts, and galley proofs for Hellas Regained, October Rhapsody, and The Sacred Legion — three novels in Price's "All Souls" series.
