Five studies in talent and perversity 3: Frank Harris
Harris wanted to be a great man of letters and, for a time, was a good editor and an influential critic. But he ended his life impoverished and embittered, writing his own pornographic memoirs and even trying to set up a partnership with Aleister Crowley. Celia Toynbee tells his remarkable story, together with his biographer Philippa Pullar , Michael Holroyd , and those who knew him: Gerald Hamilton , and Enid Bagnold , whom Harris seduced in an upper room at the Cafe Royal.
