He was associated with William Ernest Henley and the 'counter-Decadents' on the staff of the National Observer.

He is perhaps best known for his 1894 novel, "the Autobiography of a Boy", which satirized contemporary aesthetes Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas, although Street would later write favorably of Wilde's "De Profundis".
