Biografia

Henry Harisse nacque a Parigi il 28 maggio 1829, dal padre Abraham e da sua moglie Nanine Marcus.[1][2] Da giovane si trasferì con la sua famiglia in America dove prese la nazionalità del paese.

Studiò presso l'Università della Carolina del Sud e iniziò la sua carriera accademica presso l'Università della Carolina del Nord, dove insegnò lettere, filosofia e legge. Secondo il biografo Henri Cordier le sue prime opere furono indirizzate a Taine e a Renan.

Si concentrò soprattutto sullo studio delle origini dell'America, dove fece anche eventuali esplorazioni per scoprirla.

Harrisse è stato eletto membro della American Antiquarian Society nel 1893.[3]
