¶Henry Holland, 1861-1905, an American author and editor who began writing sensation fiction in the 1880s under the pseudonym Sidney Luska. In 1889, Harland moved to London where he became involved in the Aesthetic movement and started writing under his own name. Though his short story collections of this period - including Grey Roses - were well received by critics, they did not achieve much commercial success. Harland also worked with John Lane and Elkin Mathews as well as Aubrey Beardsley as the editor of the quarterly literary periodical The Yellow Book.
