Papers, 1886-1949.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122597820

Comprises correspondence, works, diaries, and miscellaneous materials from 1886-1949. The bulk of the material is 122 diaries from 1886-1949, bound into 74 volumes. Most of the diaries have daily entries from December 20, 1886 to November 16, 1949. Ives provides information in his diaries about the life of an upper-middle class English homosexual from the end of the nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. The content varies from descriptive impressions of social events, to detailed examinations of acquaintances and friends (such as Oscar Wilde, Lord Alfred Douglas, and Edward Carpenter), to information about the Order of Chaeronea, to analyses of the treatment of criminals and the workings of prisons. There are several examples of Ives' works from 1897-1926, ranging from lectures on the Treatment of crime, to the Graeco-Roman view of youth, to a volume of verse. The correspondence contains invitations to dinners, parties, and cricket matches, as well as letters regarding Ives' writings and lectures on prison reform, sodomy, the British Society of Sex Psychology, and other topics. Correspondents include Edward Carpenter, Havelock Ellis, Cesare Lombroso, Reggie Turner, Edward Westermark, and others. Miscellaneous materials include the rules and wax seal impressions for the Secret Society of Homosexuals, along with a library catalog for the British Society for the Study of Sex Psychology, and a scrapbook of reviews and loose clippings for three of Ives' books, Ero's throne (1900), A history of penal methods (1914), and Obstacles to human progress (1939). There is also a galley proof of G. B. Shaw's preface to English prisons (1922).
