Articoli correlati a Frank Harris
Almost from the date 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. He suffered from a withdrawn, puritanical, insensitive father and his sexual adventures were partly an effort to get the love and the praise that he lacked. He could not live without the reassurance and excitement of constant affairs, and it is as a sexual athlete and liar that posterity has classed him. Philippa Pullar has produced a remarkable example of biography at its truest and most entertaining.

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 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. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR003797609
