Life, Love and Letters: A Book of Travel Notes and Critical Essays, undated

Firestone LibraryManuscripts DivisionFrank Harris Papers, 1889-1930 (mostly 1915-1925)Series 1: Writings, 1897-1930Subseries 1A: Books, 1909-1930
Typescript, with preface by Abe Tobin (with autograph corrections by FH); with a list of contents, with numerous deletions by FH in pencil. It looks very much as though this apparently unpublished book was made up of stray articles, gathered under a loose title and justified after the event. Among the subjects are: Quebec, and a visit to Savannah; the crucifixion of Danzic; Lytton Strachey's Eminent Victorians; books by Theodore Dreiser, Galsworthy, Somerset Maugham, Upton Sinclair, etc. A good portion of the essays or sections announced in the list of contents are not here, but enough remains to show that FH was going through them with a view to a collected publication. A number have annotations in his (now very shaky) hand reading "Good" or "Fair to middle." With the original envelope annotated in pencil: "Chapter 22 (with exception of Emily Brontë) sent to Abe Tobin on 12/6/29," and (below): "Abe Tobin's Book."
