ОглавлениеRegarding Richard Aldington and Death of a Hero
When Death of a Hero was published in 1929 its publishers, Chatto & Windus, decided that some of the language in the novel was inappropriate for those times and proceeded to censor the text. An angry Aldington insisted on a “Note” in the published volume in which he protested at what he felt strongly was an improper and high-handed act to which he bowed reluctantly.
Interest in Aldington’s considerable contribution to Twentieth Century writing is fostered by the New Canterbury Literary Society through its “Richard Aldington Newsletter”. Aldington published his autobiography, Life for Life’s Sake in 1941. Richard Aldington: An Autobiography in Letters (1992) edited by Norman T. Gates offers much useful information, as does Caroline Zilboorg’s two-volume (1992 and 1995) edition of the correspondence between Aldington and his first spouse, the imagist poet Hilda Doolittle (H.D.).
