Anyone here have any more info about Pollitt? Beyond what's reproduced in the standard Crowley biographies, I mean... |

Nowt useful I'm afraid.
I recall that Mr Crowley mentioned in print somewhere that Pollitt had family in what is now Cumbria, and in conversation with a mate of mine a few years ago he realised he'd gone to school with a Pollitt in the South Lakes, back in the '70s. Of course no one in that area would admit to such an infamous ancestor to his schoolmates, so there's no confirmation, but I guess the family could still be around! |

Most books on Beardsley have some information on Pollitt, particularly the fine one by Stephen Calloway, V & A 1998.
Unlike Crowley Pollitt did graduate from Trinity, with a B. A.
In 1897 E. F. Benson's novel "The Babe B. A. " was published, subtitled; 'Being the Uneventful History of a Young Gentleman at Cambridge University'. The character of The Babe was based on Pollitt. |

| I found part of an essay by googling Pollitt+Kendal which quotes a letter to him about Whistler, and gives his address as Thorny Hills, Kendal, Westmorland - a bulding that still exists, by the look of it. There also seems to have been a printer of local books and postcards called Pollitt in early 20th cent Kendal, but whether he was linked to it I can't tell. |

Roger Hewitson's "Footlights" 100 years of Cambridge Comedy. 1983 has a bit on Pollitt together with 2 pics of the man.
