[edit] Biography
Born into an affluent New England family in London, he attended Eton and Cambridge and was friends with Henry James and Edith Wharton[1]. After his parents's death, he moved into a country house with his lover William Haynes-Smith[1]. He first two novels were successful as far as sales were concerned; Belchamber, however, failed to gain the same plaudits[1], although Edith Wharton praised it[2]. He went on to publish one short story and a memorial on his friend Anne Thackeray[2].
