William Harris

William Harris (1826/1827–1911) was a British Liberal politician, municipal reformer, and political historian. He is remembered both for his involvement in public life and for writing history that engaged with major political figures and movements.

Sources available here point to Harris as an author connected with political history rather than fiction or poetry, and they suggest a career shaped by reform-minded interests. Because the name is shared by many writers and public figures, only details that could be confirmed from the pages found in this search have been included.

A portrait of Harris survives on his Wikisource author page, which also helps distinguish him from other people with the same name.
