Sir Francis Edward Henry "Frank" Harris (1856–1931) was an Irish-born British author, editor, journalist, and publisher. He was a prominent figure in the literary world of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and is best known for his scandalous memoirs, My Life and Loves, which were published in four volumes between 1922 and 1927. Harris was born in Galway, Ireland, and educated at Trinity College, Dublin. He moved to London in 1882, where he worked as a journalist and editor for various newspapers and magazines, including the Saturday Review, the Pall Mall Gazette, and the Fortnightly Review. He also wrote several novels, including The Bomb (1890) and Montes the Matador (1894). In addition to his writing, Harris was a noted socialite and bon vivant, and was a friend of many of the leading figures of the day, including Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw, and H.G. Wells. He was also a passionate advocate of sexual freedom, and his memoirs were highly controversial for their frank discussion of his sexual exploits. Harris died in 1931, aged 75.
