Paul Eldridge (May 5, 1888 – July 26, 1982[1]) was an American poet, novelist, short story writer and teacher.
The son of Leon and Jeanette Eldridge (née Lafleur), he was born in Bucharest, Romania on May 5, 1888[2] and immigrated with his family to the United States on August 15, 1900.[2] He later married a fellow writer, Sylvette de Lamar (author of a 1932 novel Jews With the Cross[3]). He received his B.S. from Temple University in 1909, his A.M. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1911,[4] and a doctorate from the University of Paris in 1913. He was a teacher of romance languages at the high school level in New York until his retirement in 1945.[5] He was a lecturer on American Literature at the Sorbonne in 1913 and at the University of Florence in 1923.[6] He later was an instructor of English literature at Saint John's College in Philadelphia, from 1910-1912, and was a member of the Authors' and Dramatists' League of the Authors' Guild of America.[6]
He is best known for collaborating with the American decadent novelist and poet George Sylvester Viereck, who was imprisoned as a Nazi agent in the 1940s,[7] 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. A highly prolific author, many of his later books were published by E. Haldeman-Julius in his "Big Blue Books" series. He died at the age of 94 in a New York City nursing home on July 26, 1982.[5]
