Richard Thomas Le Gallienne (1866-1947) was an English man of
letters, very much associated with the literary world of London in
the 1890s. 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 he became for a
short time literary secretary to Wilson Barrett. He joined the
staff of The Star in 1891, and wrote for various papers using the
signature of Logroller. He contributed to The Yellow Book, and
associated with the Rhymer's Club. In 1906 he translated, from
the Danish, Peter Nansen's Loves Trilogy. Among his famous
works are: English Poems (1892), The Quest of the Golden Girl
(1896), Prose Fancies (1896), Young Lives (1899), The Worshipper of
the Image (1900), October Vagabonds (1910), The Lonely Dancer, and
