The Indecent Publications Act 1963

IN the matter of the Indecent Publications Act 1963, and
in the matter of an application to the Tribunal for a decision
regarding the book My Life and Loves, by Frank Harris,
published by Transworld Publishers Ltd., of Bashley Road,
London.

DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL

LEAVE to submit the book to the Tribunal was granted by the
Minister of Justice. We have considered it accordingly. Mr
Heron appeared in support of the application. The Justice
Department was represented but made no submissions.

The Tribunal has considered the formidable collection of
five volumes originally published in Great Britain, by W. H.
Allen, but now published as a “paper back” by Corgi Books
entitled My Life and Loves. Harris lived from 1855 to 1931.
His reminiscences, colourful and at times flamboyant, recreate
many aspects of the life of his times. Exaggeration and
embellishment are used to point up the narrative, and the
author cannot always be relied upon in matters of fact, but
the broad picture he presents is a substantially accurate and
very vivid account of a living society. The author is shrewd
and enterprising and his comments help towards appreciation
of the political, financial, and literary world of the latter
part of the 19th century.

Harris does not himself emerge as an admirable character,
but he had qualities which command respect, and was a
figure of some importance and was the associate of several
who were among the great.

Many passages in the book deal with the author’s sexual
experiences (or fantasies, for some of his extravagant claims
in the field of seduction may have been the result of sexual
frustration). In these detailed repetitive accounts he repre-
sents himself as a successful Don Juan, indefatigable, and
with little or no compunction in his search for conquests.
Isolated, the descriptions could be regarded as undesirably
stimulating to young minds, but they are rather lost in a
mass of quite unexceptionable material and they do not
exhibit cruelty, violence, or the grosser perversions.

The Tribunal takes notice that copies of the Corgi Edition
have been selling freely for many months without apparent
objection. The retail price 15s., is relevant and we have taken
account of it. Our decision however rests primarily on sub-
section (2) of section 11 of the statute.

In our opinion the book is not likely to deprave and its
circulation is in the interests of literature and learning; we
do not think its availability should be restricted, and
accordingly we are not prepared to classify the book as
indecent.
