Paul Eldridge (May 5, 1888 - July 26, 1982) was an American poet, novelist, short story writer, and teacher.[1]

Life[]

Eldridge, the son of Jeanette (LaFleur) and Leon Eldridge, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on May 5, 1888.[2]

He earned a B.S. from Temple University in 1909, an M.A. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1911, and a doctorate from the University of Paris in 1913.

He was an instructor of English literature at Saint John's College in Philadelphia, from 1910 to 1912. He was a lecturer on American literature at the Sorbonne in 1913, and at the University of Florence in 1923.[2]

From 1914 he was a teacher of romance languages in New York high schools until his retirement in 1946.[1]

He was a member of the Authors' and Dramatists' League of the Authors' Guild of America.[2] He married a fellow writer, Sylvette de Lamar (author of a 1932 novel, Jews and the Cross).

Eldridge was a highly prolific author; many of his later books were published by Haldeman-Julius Publications in its "Big Blue Books" series. He is best known for collaborating with American decadent novelist and poet George Sylvester Viereck on a trilogy of exotic fantasy novels from 1928 to 1932: My First Two Thousand Years: The autobiography of the wandering Jew; Salome: The wandering Jewess; and The Invincible Adam.

He died at the age of 94 in a New York City nursing home on July 26, 1982.[1]
