Jackson, Laura (Riding), 1901-1991

found: Ltr. from author, 13 Sep 73(My later authorial name is 'Laura (Riding) Jackson.' I insist on this with publishers and editors ... I do not use 'Riding' as a middle name in my later authorial name: it is, as it were, a literary identification. I do not use it as a middle name in my later personal name; and it would perturb me if the parentheses were disregarded in the Library of Congress)
