Howard Overing Sturgis (1855–1920) was an English-language novelist of American parentage who lived and worked in Britain. His literary contributions are particularly distinguished by their focus on same-sex love, a theme he explored during a period when such subject matter was highly unconventional in mainstream publishing.\n\nOperating within transatlantic literary circles, Sturgis spent his active years in the United Kingdom. His writing remains of interest to modern scholars studying the history of LGBTQ+ literature and the development of early twentieth-century English fiction.
