Harris (Frank). The Bomb, published by the Author, New York, 1920, b & w plts., several leaves with closed tears, mostly to lower blank margin, upper hinge split, lacking rear free endpaper, orig. cloth gilt, spine darkened and rubbed, 8vo. Inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper: 'To dearest Paddy from "Pat" the author Frank Harris who loves her dearly June 1920'. Frank Harris was one of the most infamous characters of the late 19th and early 20th century. He made his name as a journalist and author, and was a key figure of the literary and political scene. He was a friend to both Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde, and amongst many others he also knew H.G. Wells, Max Beerbohm, Winston Churchill, Aleister Crowley, George Moore and Arnold Bennett. He was notably outspoken and candid, which did not suit the tenor of the times, but it was the publication of his autobiography in 1922 'My Life and Loves' which finally destroyed his reputation. This work immediately scandalised the society of his day with its unshrinking depiction of sexual matters. 'The Bomb', Harris's first novel, is set among the anarchist victims of the events surrounding Chicago's Haymarket Square bombing of 1886. It evoked a chorus of praise amongst reviewers, for example, 'The Times': "'The Bomb' is highly charged with an explosive blend of Socialistic and Anarchistic matter, wrapped in a gruesome coating of 'exciting' fiction... Mr. Harris has a real power of realistic narrative... The tense directness of his style, never deviating into verbiage, undoubtedly keeps the reader at grips with the story and the characters." First published in 1908, this edition was a small print run published by the author. (1)
