He was born in Woodsfield, Ohio and attended the Ohio State University. He began teaching English at OSU as a university fellow in 1932 during the final year of his PhD and was given his first post as a university professor in 1934 at Carroll College in Helena, Montana. In 1936 he was dismissed from a position at the State College of Washington due to the portrayal of prostitution in his novel Angels on the Bough. He moved to Chicago, teaching at Loyola until 1946 and then at DePaul University. In 1952 he began tattooing in Chicago under the name Phil Sparrow partly because he did not want to jeopardize his teaching job at DePaul. He stopped teaching two years later to write and tattoo full-time. He visited Paris in 1937 and met [Gertrude Stein] and Alice B. Toklas with whom he corresponded for 20 years after Stein's death. He also met with many other literary figures such as Lord Alfred Douglas (the lover of Oscar Wilde), Thomas Mann, and André Gide. Steward's 1981 memoir Chapters from an Autobiography detailed these relationships, as well as other experiences. He also edited the book Dear Sammy: Letters from Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas (Houghton Mifflin, 1977), and wrote two "Gertrude Stein-Alice B. Toklas Mysteries" featuring the famous couple as detectives. Steward was also introduced to Thornton Wilder by Gertrude Stein, who at the time regularly corresponded with the both of them. Wilder famously drafted the third act of Our Town during a brief affair with Steward in Zurich on their first meeting. Steward met famed sex researcher Alfred Kinsey around 1949 and became an unofficial collaborator, helping Kinsey find new contacts. In 1949, he participated in a BDSM scene for Kinsey to film, with a sadist that Kinsey flew in from New York. He said Kinsey was as approachable as a park bench and described him as a liberating influence. In the early 1950s he made pornographic drawings, many of them based on his own Polaroid photographs. Some of his art was published in the trilingual Swiss homosexual journal Der Kreis (The Circle). In the 1960s Steward began writing gay erotica under the name Phil Andros. His works dealt with rough trade and sadomasochistic sex. Since the legality of gay erotica was still questionable, its authors and publishers had little recourse against piracy; Steward's own San Francisco Hustler was published without permission by Cameo Library as Gay in San Francisco by "Biff Thomas". The name Phil Andros, which he used both as a pen name and the name of his protagonist, comes from the Greek words for love and man. Steward died at age 84 of chronic pulmonary disease in Berkeley, California.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. San Francisco: Perineum Press, 1983-1984. First editions. 140; 159; 139; 145; 174pp. Glued in wraps featuring cover illustrations by Tom of Finland. Near fine, with light rubbing and wear to wraps, mild fading to spines. All volumes signed and inscribed by Steward (as Phil Andros) to half-titles. Presentation copies of five volumes of gay erotic fiction written under his Phil Andros pseudonym by American academic, tattoo artist, and novelist Samuel Steward (1909-1993), each volume inscribed in Steward's charmingly rococo script to close friend Douglas Martin. A student of Steward's at DePaul University in the early 1950s, Martin wrote Steward a warm letter of re-introduction in 1977, thus sparking a prolific correspondence acknowledged by Steward's biographer Justin Spring as "the most significant and sustaining friendship of Steward's final decades," and "the single greatest consolation to him in his otherwise very lonely old age" (Secret Historian, p.378). Steward's fondness for Martin is evident in his inscription in My Brother, My Self: "For Doug?hoping he'll live as long as he wants to, and want to as long as he lives." In Different Strokes, meanwhile, Steward alludes to one of the early points of connection established in their correspondence, namely a habit shared by both men of keeping detailed records of their many sexual adventures: "For Doug Martin?who has prolly had more different strokes than I have." The Boys in Blue ("For Doug Martin a guy who now and then is blew") and Shuttlecock ("Keep your tanks filled, baby!") make salacious play on the works' titles, while Steward's inscription in Greek Ways turns slightly self-conscious: "Will there be no end to these dirty, foul, and obscene fripperies? (well, maybe.) luv Phil Andros." Two of the volumes also with a handful of annotations in Steward's hand, primarily correcting typos and formatting errors ("shitty damned computer!"). Altogether, a unique and charming grouping, offering a revealing window into an important relationship in Steward's life. Inscribed by Author(s).
