OverviewAfter having it recommended to him by friend, A.J.A. Symons read Frederick Rolfe's Hadrian the Seventh in 1925 and found himself entranced by the novel and by its mysterious and all-but-forgotten author. This book is a hilarious and heartbreaking portrait of the strange Frederick Rolfe, an artist, writer, and frustrated aspirant to the priesthood with a talent for self-destruction, but it is also a self-portrait, a study of the obsession and sympathy that inspires the biographer's art. Siguiendo la recomendacion de un amigo, en 1925 A.J.A. Symons leyo Hadrian the Seventh y quedo anonadado por la obra y por su misterioso y practicamente olvidado autor.
