Frederic Rolfe, Baron Corvo
Don Renato
London: Chatto and Windus, 1963
First printing
The only work not to have been published in his lifetime, perhaps due to the Biblically convoluted language and pompous musings of a Roman priest, attendant on the sixteenth century household of an Italian Prince.
Rolfe is able to combine his love of Papish ritual and language with his own interest in the more comely youths of the court.
