Richard Le Gallienne - Works

Writer, born in Liverpool, NW England, UK, the father of Eva Le Gallienne. In 1891 he became a London journalist, but later lived in New York City. He published many volumes of prose and verse, the best of which are Quest of the Golden Girl (1896), The Romantic Nineties (1926), and From a Paris Garret (1936).

Richard Thomas Le Gallienne (1866 - 1947) was an English man of letters, very much associated with the literary world of London in the 1890s;

Asked how to say his name, he told The Literary Digest the stress was "on the last syllable: le gal-i-enn'. As a rule I hear it pronounced as if it were spelled 'gallion,' which, of course, is wrong."
