Autor

Richard Le Gallienne (1866–1947) was an English author and poet, who emerged as a notable figure in the aesthetic movement during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Le Gallienne's literary career was marked by his lyrical prose style and his devotion to art's beauty and emotive capabilities. He is perhaps best known for his collection 'Prose Fancies' (1896), which highlights his ability to blend poetic sensibility with prose form, creating an evocative and introspective narrative style. Born in Liverpool, he moved to London, where his contributions to The Yellow Book and The Savoy placed him at the heart of the fin de siècle literary circles. Le Gallienne's body of work includes poetry, criticism, essays, and translations, showcasing a versatility that was admired by his contemporaries, including Oscar Wilde. Though less known today, his work remains a subject of interest for scholars exploring the aesthetic and decadent movements of the period. Le Gallienne's impact on English literature lies not just in his published works but also in his role as a literary bridge between the Victorian sensibilities and modernist innovations.
