About the author
Born in New York City in 1861, Henry Harland began his writing career in the United States before building his reputation in Europe. He later settled in London, where he moved in literary and artistic circles during the 1890s.
Harland is best known as the literary editor of The Yellow Book, the influential quarterly associated with the aesthetic and decadent movements. Alongside that editorial work, he wrote novels and short fiction, including The Cardinal’s Snuff-Box, which became one of his best-known books.
His career connected American beginnings with a very British literary moment, and his writing often carried a polished, cosmopolitan tone. He died in 1905, but he remains an interesting figure for readers drawn to late-Victorian literature and the culture around The Yellow Book.
