Herbert Moore Pim was a writer, activist and bohemian who changed both political and religious allegiances multiple times during his lifetime.[2]
Biography
Born to a Quaker family he converted to Roman Catholicism in 1910.[3] He was arrested for his role in the Easter Rising and for a short period after his release was claimed to be the leader of the Sinn Féin party.[4] In June 1918 he resigned Sinn Féin and turned to right-wing unionism.[5]
In the 1920s Pim left for France, later obtaining French citizenship and marrying Germaine Eleanor Dussotour.[6] He wrote the book French love in 1927, it was a fictionalised and embellishment of his life story and was banned in Ireland.[7] The 1930s saw his involvement with fascism in Italy.[8] He went to England in 1937 to be close to his friend Lord Alfred Douglas in Sussex, England.[6]
He died in Sussex in 1950 aged 67.[9][a]
