  • About
  • Julian Orde (1917-74) was a granddaughter of the 4th Duke of Wellington, raised in London and Paris, and presented at court as a debutante. She rebelled. She achieved distinction and professional success as a poet, a writer of short stories, an actor, a playwright, a screenwriter and a copywriter. She published around twenty poems in the Forties, but no more in her lifetime. Greville Press published a pamphlet edition of her classic long poem, Conjurors, in 1988.
