Pantopia

by Frank Harris

An extraordinary novel of Religion and Passion in which the famous author of My Life and Loves depicts a woman's love and passion with the utmost freedom. A Utopian lost race novel which has been compared to D. H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterly's Lover. Harris is often accused of being a sexist one-track, but this Utopian volume shows depth of thought. He considered it his most important work.

About the author

Librarian Note:
There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.

Frank Harris was an editor, journalist and publisher, who was friendly with many well-known figures of his day. Born in Ireland, he emigrated to America early in life, working in a variety of unskilled jobs before attending the University of Kansas to read law. He eventually became a citizen there. After graduation he quickly tired of his legal career and returned to Europe in 1882.

He travelled on continental Europe before settling in London to pursue a career in journalism. Though he attracted much attention during his life for his irascible, aggressive personality, editorship of famous periodicals, and friendship with the talented and famous, he is remembered mainly for his multiple-volume memoir My Life and Loves, which was banned in countries around the world for its sexual explicitness.
