Hard Cover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. First Edition. First edition. Jacket spine base stained, 1/2 inch closed tear to jacket corner, edges foxed. 1975 Hard Cover. xii, 417 pp. Notorious writer and legendary sexual adventurer, Frank Harris scandalized Victorian and Edwardian England with his outrageous carnal exploits. He lived a sensational life surrounded by myth and exaggeration - much of which was perpetrated by himself. As a journalist Frank Harris was the chronicler of the glittering "fin de siecle" coterie which included Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas, George Bernard Shaw and Aleister Crowley. But it was for his frenzied sexual escapades that he became famed - as recorded explicitly in his racy and unreliable autobiography "My Life and Loves", which was banned for its pornographic contents. Posterity has classed him as a lustful satyr and liar ever since. Yet Philippa Pullar shows that beneath the image of the bawdy Lothario lay a far more complex personality. Frank Harris was also a social reformer, traveller, literary critic and loyal friend, a man with a private, melancholy side, whose constant affairs were partly to seek the reassurance that he had never had from his cold, puritanical father. Compulsive and often outrageous, this brilliantly entertaining and deeply researched work is the fullest portrait possible of an extraordinary man.

Frank Harris (February 14, 1856 - August 27, 1931) was a British-born, naturalized-American author, editor, journalist and publisher, who was friendly with many well-known figures of his day. Though he attracted much attention during his life for his irascible, aggressive personality, editorship of famous periodicals, and friendship with the talented and famous, he is remembered mainly for his multiple-volume memoir My Life and Loves, which was banned in countries around the world for its sexual explicitness. Almost from the moment of his birth in Galway in 1856, Frank Harris was surrounded by myth and exaggeration, very often perpetrated by himself, but also embroidered by detractors and fanatical supporters. This copy is in FINE condition with no marks or inscriptions. The unclipped dustwrapper is sunned to the spine but otherwise NEAR FINE. Ref J4.

Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. First Edition. Hardback Almost from the moment of his birth in Galway in 1856, Frank Harris was surrounded by myth and exggeration, very often perpetrated by himself, but also embroidered by detractors and fanatical supporters. James Thomas, as he was christened, suffered from a withdrawn, puritanical, insensitive father and his notorious sexual adventures were partly an effort to get the love and praise that he lacked. He could not live without the reassurance and excitement of constant affairs. it is as a sexual athlete and liar that posterity has classed him. The author in her deeply researched and compulsive biography shows that this was only one facet of a diverse and richly layered personality. Frank Harris was a man of literary and political enterprise as his contributions to the Spectator and his editorship of the Fortnightly and Saturday Reviews demonstrate. He was a reformer, traveller, interviewer and financial intriguer; a loyal friend, risking his reputation to support Oscar Wilde, obsessed totally by his wife Nellie, a catalyst of young writers. Almost single-handed, it seems, he set himself to destroy the self-satisfaction and hypocrisy of Victorian and Edwardian England, only to see his own political ambitions shattered. He had a magnetic personality and his life which encompassed a span of great change was full of adventures and misadventures. His character was crucially divided, the one side melancholy and private, the other the flamboyant performer the world knows. He was always his own worst enemy. In the end he progressed from the role of the pantaloon to that of a genuine tragic figure. Philippa Pullar has produced a remarkable example of biography at its truest and most entertaining. The myths and the clutter of prejudices have been removed and a man of extraordinary fascination who knew everyone and went everywhere parades once more before the audience which he always loved.Illustrated. Price clipped. Some wear and tear to D/J.
