Charles Edward Sayle (6 December 1864 – 4 July 1924) was an English Uranian
poet, literary scholar and librarian. Muscovyis (1884-88) and Amor Redux (1888) are cited as examples in Sexual Heretics: Male Homosexuality in English Literature
from 1850-1900, by Brian Reade.
He was born the son of Robert and Priscilla Caroline Sayle. He later served as an under-librarian at Cambridge University Library.[1] His works include Bertha: a story of love (1885), Wicliff: an historical drama (1887), Erotidia (1889), Musa Consolatrix (1893), Private Music (1911) and Cambridge Fragments (1913).[2] He also edited an anthology of verse, In Praise of Music (1897) and compiled Annals of Cambridge University Library; 1278-1900 (1916).
Charles Sayle's salon, a circle of bright, handsome and predominantly homosexual young men who congregated at his house in Cambridge, included Rupert Brooke,[3] George Mallory,[4] Augustus Bartholomew and Geoffrey Keynes.
Sayle's publisher was Bernard Quaritch, a bookseller who specialised in unpopular but praiseworthy scholastic publications.[5]
