Autorenporträt
Joseph Percival Pollard was an American literary critic, novelist, and short story writer. Born in Greifswald, Pomerania, to English and German parents, he attended Eastbourne College in Sussex, England. His family immigrated to the United States in 1885. After growing up in Iowa, he spent much of his life traveling between London, Paris, and New York. His most famous work was Their Day in Court, a 1909 book of literary and cultural commentary. His works reveal his rejection of naturalism and disdain for popular commercial tastes, instead championing aestheticism and literary impressionism. Other works include Dreams of Today (1907), a book of decadent 'weird tales' in the vein of Chambers' The King in Yellow, the critical study Masks and Minstrels of New Germany (1911), the novels The Imitator (1901) and Lingo Dan (1903), and a play written in collaboration with Leo Ditrichstein, The Ambitious Mrs. Alcott, which opened and closed on Broadway after 24 performances in 1907. Pollard, 42, died unexpectedly of "brain neuritis" in Baltimore in 1911, ending a promising career. Mencken and Bierce attended the funeral. His cremated remains were sent to Iowa.
