Inspirational Quotes by Richard Le Gallienne (English Writer)

Richard Le Gallienne (1866–1947) was a British-born American critic, essayist, and poet. His Romantic works never gained great popularity. He was well known as the father of famed actress and stage director Eva Le Gallienne (1899–1991) by his second marriage to Danish journalist Julie Nørregaard (1863–1942.)

Born in Liverpool, England, of Guernsey ancestry, he became a journalist in London in 1891 but later lived in New York. He published many volumes of prose and verse, including My Ladies’ Sonnets (1887,) Volumes in Folio (1889,) Quest of the Golden Girl (1896.) In 1891, Le Gallienne became a book critic at The Star newspaper in London, and he contributed to other periodicals, including the magazine Yellow Book.

For almost 30 years, beginning in 1903, Le Gallienne lived in the U.S. and continued to publish. He eventually moved to France to mingle with the Paris literati. He was an original member of the Rhymers Club with W. B. Yeats, Oscar Wilde (with whom Le Gallienne had an affair.) From Paris, he wrote the column “From a Paris Garret” for the New York Sun. He republished these pieces in From a Paris Garret (1936) and From a Paris Scrapbook (1938.)
