Description
by Baron Frederick Corvo (Author)
Hadrian the Seventh is a novel written by Baron Frederick Corvo. It tells the story of George Arthur Rose, a failed poet who unexpectedly becomes Pope Hadrian VII. The novel is set in the early 20th century and explores themes of power, religion, and identity. As Pope, Rose is forced to navigate the complex world of Vatican politics, while also grappling with his own personal beliefs and desires. The novel is a satirical take on the Catholic Church and its hierarchy, and is known for its witty and irreverent tone. It has been praised for its unique blend of humor and philosophical insight, and is considered a classic of English literature.1925. English novelist, Frederick Rolfe, used the name Baron Corvo, saying it had been given to him as a gift. He was a convert to Catholicism and tried unsuccessfully on a number of occasions to become a priest. His novel, Hadrian the Seventh is a bizarre tale of a failed writer who is elected Pope, providing a compensation for Rolfe�������s rejections and a vehicle for savage revenge on his enemies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
