Synopsis

Rediscover the rich legacy of Richard Aldington (1892-1962), a notable British man of letters.

A prominent editor, poet, author of fiction, translator, biographer, and screenwriter who made an indelible contribution to the English literature of the early twentieth century, Richard Aldington deserves to be much better known than he is today. Best known these days for his novel Death of a Hero, which was based on his experience on the frontlines of World War I, he was a central figure in English literary and cultural life in the first half of the twentieth century, married to the poet Hilda Doolittle (H. D.) and friends with Ezra Pound, Wyndham Lewis, and others.

This book accompanies a milestone exhibition at the Grolier Club, based on the largest Aldington collection in private hands, that is poised to restore his name to its rightful place. Richard Aldington contains a short biography, a bibliography of Aldington's publications, and a catalog of the exhibition.
