Was an Australian poet.In Sydney he met Henry Parkes, Daniel Deniehy, Robert Lowe and W. A. Duncan, who in 1845 published Harpur's first little volume, Thoughts, A Series of Sonnets, which has since become very rare. Harpur had left Sydney two years before and was farming with a brother on the Hunter River. In 1850 he married Mary Doyle and engaged in sheep farming for some years with varying success. In 1853 he published The Bushrangers: a Play in Five Acts, and other Poems. The play is a failure and contains some of Harpur's worst writing, but the volume included some of his best poems. In 1858 he was given the appointment of gold commissioner at Araluen with a good salary. He held the position for eight years and also had a farm at Eurobodalla. Harpur found, however, that his duties prevented him from supervising the work on the farm and it became a bad investment. Two verse pamphlets, A Poets Home and The Tower of a Dream, had appeared in 1862 and 1865.

Friends of Welles, in particular Peter Bogdanovich, criticised this thesis. The book earned Higham a full-page spread in Newsweek as the film detective, and he was engaged as New York Times Hollywood feature writer for the Sunday Theatre Section.
