Papers : of Frank Harris, 1893-1930.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/29734119

The collection contains manuscripts of essays "Lovers of the truth: Anatole France," and "The dancing of Maud Allen." Correspondence describes his own work, especially the controversial "My life and loves," discusses the business details of writing, magazine editing and lecturing, expresses his concerns about censorship and the misinterpretation of his work, defends his frankness and pushes sales. He comments on the work of other writers, deriding the work of many contemporaries except James Joyce's "Ulysses." Harris describes Paris in 1914, predicts a German victory, and comments on his pro-German book. Letters to a soldier in post-war Germany elicit information on conditions there and despair over the future. His health, financial problems and a proposed edition of Shakespeare are also frequent topics. In addition the collection contains a photograph of Harris, prospectuses for the first two volumes of "My life and loves," a review of Huysman's "A rebours, " and notes for a lecture "Three modern figures, Nietzsche - Bernard Shaw - Walt Whitman."
