Henry Harland

Henry Harland (1861–1905) was an American novelist and editor. Born in New York and died in San Remo, Italy, in 1905, he first wrote thriller novels under the pen name Sidney Luska. In 1894 he founded the literary quarterly The Yellow Book, leaving a distinct mark as an editor and in literary taste. His later work turned toward an aesthetic style, with representative works including The Cardinal's Snuff-Box, The Lady Paramount, and Grey Roses, marked by delicate prose and attention to form and atmosphere. Two of his works are held in the collection, commonly classified under inspirational growth, but public information about his life and work is limited, making a more systematic assessment difficult; studies tend to focus on his editorial activity and aesthetic fiction.
