Exile to France
Poet involved
What happened
Aldington moved to France in 1939, seeking a new life away from the turmoil of England and the looming threat of World War II. He settled in the south of France, where he continued to write and reflect on his experiences. This relocation marked a significant turning point in his personal and artistic life.
Literary impact
The move to France allowed Aldington to distance himself from the disillusionment he felt towards England and its literary circles. This period of exile influenced his writing, as he began to explore themes of identity and belonging in a foreign land.
