The Quest for Corvo

£4.99

A.J.A. Symons’ pioneering biography of Fr. Rolfe, AKA Baron Corvo, set a new standard for biographical investigation, turning the very research into the subject into part of the story. Symons’ quest for the facts about this peripatetic preacher takes him to Rome, Venice, Wales and London, in search of the buried tales of his subject’s eccentric life. Several subsequent attempts at biography of Corvo were attempted, but this remains the original and best. This Penguin paperback edition in good condition.
