+Mrs. Richard Aldington+ (Hilda Doolittle, "H.D.")--poet.
Born at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, 1886. Studied at Bryn Mawr, 1904-5, but
ill health compelled her to give up college work. In 1911, she went
abroad and remained there. In 1913, she married Richard Aldington, the
English poet (cf. Manly and Rickert, _Contemporary British Poetry_).
"H.D.'s" work is commonly regarded as the most perfect embodiment of the
Imagist theory.
