Lies and Libels of Frank Harris

1929. Arguments by Kate Stephens and Edited by Gerrit and Mary Caldwell Smith. An attempt to rebuke and refute parts of Harris's scandalous and pornographic multi volume autobiography, My Life and Loves in which he characterized Byron Caldwell Smith unfavorably, according to the latter's relatives. Frank Harris published voluminously and was associated closely with George Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde. His four volume autobiography raised issues of obscenity, pornography, and lewdness and was self-published from the South of France, with the intent of escaping American law and Puritanism.
