A fascinating hybrid of biography, detective story, and literary obsession, The Quest for Corvo explores the eccentric life of Baron Corvo (aka Frederick Rolfe), a forgotten writer, through the eyes of a biographer unraveling mystery after mystery. Originally published in 1934, A.J.A. Symons’ meta-biography was decades ahead of its time.
This edition includes an introduction by A.S. Byatt.
Paperback in very good used condition. A cult favorite among readers of literary biography, queer history, and oddball classics.
