Frank Harris
This part of the site is dedicated to the notorious author and editor Frank Harris, whose My Life and Loves scandalised Britain, Europe and America in the 1920s. Notwithstanding his reputation as a rogue and womaniser, he was an entertaining writer and individual who was always his own man.

This page contains a list of books which may be of some interest to the student of Harris, as a supplement to the main bibliography. Wherever possible I have included my own comments about their content. My principal source for this list is Tobin and Gertz' biography of Harris, supplemented by my own researches. (Three loud cheers also to Simon Bowles and Catherine Tonge for their generous endeavours).
Warning: some books I haven't yet read may be wrongly classified.

Introduction
Two books acquired recently, one new, one older, started me thinking about the different views of Harris that people have. Some are adulators, who take Harris at his own estimation, and believe that he was a great man brought low by jealous prudes; at the other extreme there are those who think he was a congenital liar and villain, a fraud, blackmailer and pornographer. The truth, of course, is to be found somewhere in the middle, to the inconvenience of those whose taste is for the black and white, without shades of grey.
