Frank Harris (1856–1931) was one of the most colourful and controversial figures of the Victorian and Edwardian literary worlds — journalist, editor of the Saturday Review, friend to Oscar Wilde, and indefatigable self-promoter. His memoir My Life and Loves is famously candid, blending accounts of his literary friendships and professional adventures with frank autobiographical confession that made the book notorious and long banned.
