James (Joseph) Hanley (3 September 1897 – 11 November 1985) was a British novelist, short story writer, and playwright of Irish descent.  He published his first novel "Drift" in 1930.  The novels and short stories about seamen and their families that he wrote in the 1930s and 1940s included "Boy" (1931), the subject of an obscenity trial.  Hanley came from a seafaring family and spent two years at sea himself.  After World War II there was less emphasis on the sea in his works.  While frequently praised by critics, Hanley's novels did not sell well.  In the late 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s he wrote plays, mainly for the BBC, for radio and then for television, and also for the theatre.  He returned to the novel in the 1970s.  His last novel, "A Kingdom", was published in 1978, when he was eighty. Robinson Crusoe, Jr. is a musical with a book by Edgar Smith, lyrics by Harold R.

The Furys Chronicle is a sequence of five novels, published between 1935 and 1958, by James Hanley (1897–1985).  The main setting is the fictional, northern, English town of Gelton, which is based on Liverpool, where Hanley was born, and involves an Irish Catholic family of seafarers, similar to Hanley's own.  The action takes place between 1911 and 1927.  The first novel in the series, "The Furys", was Hanley's sixth novel.

The term Objectivist was coined for him.  The multi-volume "Testimony" was based on court records and explored the experiences of immigrants, black people and the urban and rural poor in the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.  He followed this with "Holocaust" (1975), based on court testimony about Nazi death camps during World War II.
