Pseudonyms
FPG
Grove's virtually all clever & obvious pseudonym is FPG: he used those plain initials on both sides of the Atlantic, for his legal birth name Felix Paul Greve and his Canadian name Frederick Philip Grove. Queen's University Prof D. O. Spettigue, world health organization found Grove's avowedly identity withwithin October 1971 in the British Museum, published his arresting locating in his 1973 book FPG: A European Years.
Grove
A title Grove itself is an elegant modification of the author's very title Greve. in the Immigration Pronunciamento of the White Star Liner Megantic on July 31 1909, it appears that FPG's name was smudged, allowing a nature and severity of the central vowel uncertain, though it looks rather an "o". Even, a German Gothic writing within Greve's passport left it open to the kind of interpretations, & all Greve needed to do was being non-committal as to its true meaning.
Andrew R. Rutherford
Grove suggested a name "Andrew R. Rutherford" as a pseudonym for his first Canadian book publication Over Prairie Trails (1922). A equivalent title appears within relation to his unpublished typescript in the University of Manitoba Archives, Jane Atkinson (ca. 1923, e-publ. 2000). This title occurs as directly information to Greve's friend Herman Kilian's enatic grandpthe, a far-famed Scottish Judge. Though Kilian got Greve in remission, tried & sentences for fraud in May 1903, Grove appropriated Kilian's entire family background for his invented Canadian autobiography in the early 1920s, except that he claimed to be of Scottish-Swedish rather than Scottish-German origin.
FPG
These are known from either his correspondence that Grove tried to -- & even did -- publish pornographic writings under the kind of unknown nom de guerre. the intriguing title of the novel treating sustaining his uncivilized college times was a multi-layered nom de guerre within itself, swimming in Greve's given list Felix & Paul, ''Felix Powell's Career''.
Gerden & Thorer
When Greve, just ii anonym come attested inside Greve's correspondence using Insel Publishers: he used F. C. Gerden for translations of decadent literature (Dowson, Browning), and Konrad Thorer for translations of Cervantes & Lesage.
Fanny Essler
Withinside 1904/5, Greve published an accomplished, Petrarchan poetry period by having his lover Else Endell, late referred to as Baroness von Freytag-Loringhoven, under a joint anonym Tail Essler in Die Freistatt. Around the telling letter to Gide [Oct. Xvii, 1904], Greve explained daring plans on a and then-supposed 'Tail Essler' complex, which involved his number one novel just about Else's life, which was entitled Tail Essler (1905).
