Frank Harris
James Thomas (Frank) Harris (1856 - 1931) was a British journalist and from 1886 he edited the influential Fortnightly Review, a journal which published fiction, reviews, literary criticism and essays. He was sacked from his post in 1894, in part as a result of his rejection of social convention, and he went on to buy and edit the Saturday Review. He sold this in 1898 to agents acting for Cecil Rhodes and Alfred Beit. Schreiner’s two extant letters to Harris in his capacity as then-editor of the Fortnightly Review were written in the later 1880s, and they concern arrangements for the publication of her writings. He is now perhaps best known for the sexual detail provided in his reminiscences, My Life and Loves (1931).
