About The Book
Description
Author(s)
<p>One day in 1925 a friend asked A. J. A. Symons if he had read Fr. Rolfe's Hadrian the Seventh. He hadn't, but soon did, and found himself entranced by the novel - "a masterpiece" - and no less fascinated by the mysterious person of its all-but-forgotten creator. <em>The Quest for Corvo</em> is a hilarious and heartbreaking portrait of the strange Frederick Rolfe, self-appointed Baron Corvo, an artist, writer, and frustrated aspirant to the priesthood with a bottomless talent for self-destruction. But this singular work, subtitled <em>An Experiment in Biography</em>, is also a remarkable self-portrait, a study of the obsession and sympathy that inspires the biographer's art.</p>
