Biography

Born into an affluent New England family in London, he attended Eton and Cambridge and was friends with Henry James and Edith Wharton. [http://www.nybooks.com/nyrb/authors/13553 New York Review of Books] ] After the death of his parents, he moved into a country house with his lover William Haynes-Smith. His first two novels were successful as far as sales were concerned; his third, "Belchamber", failed to gain the same plaudits, however, although Edith Wharton praised it.Borklund, Elmer. " [http://www.jstor.org/pss/435203 Howard Sturgis, Henry James, and "Belchamber"] ". "Modern Philology", Vol. 58, No. 4 (May, 1961)] Sturgis went on to publish one short story and a memorial on his friend Anne Thackeray before his death in 1920.
