 Richard Thomas Le Gallienne (1866 - 1947) was an English man of letters, closely associated with the literary world of London in the 1890s; after that he resided in the USA, without altering his period style. The American actress Eva Le Gallienne (1899-1991) was his daughter, by his second marriage. He was born in Liverpool. He started work in an accountant's office, but abandoned this to write. My Ladies' Sonnets appeared in 1887, and in 1889 be became for a short time literary secretary to Wilson Barrett. He joined the staff of The Star in 1891, and wrote for various papers over the signature of Logroller. He contributed to The Yellow Book, and associated with the Rhymer's Club. His first wife, Mildred Lee, died in 1894, and in 1897 he married Julie Noiregard, subsequently taking up his residence in the United States. They divorced a few years later. In 1906 he translated, from the Danish, Peter Nansen's Loves Trilogy. In later years he knew Llewelyn Powys and John Cowper Powys. 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." (Charles Earle Funk, What's the Name, Please?, Funk & Wagnalls, 1936.) A number of his works are now available online. Works
