About this book
A strange and richly ornamented fantasy in which the narrator is flung backward through time to the age of the Crusades, encountering marvels, perils, and the exotic splendor of the medieval Mediterranean. Frederick Rolfe—the eccentric author known as 'Baron Corvo'—writes in his famously lush, mannered, and idiosyncratic style, producing a tale as curious and dazzling as its creator. Blending time travel, adventure, and decadent invention, it is a singular literary oddity from one of English literature's great eccentrics. For adventurous readers who enjoy the strange and ornate, The Weird of the Wanderer is a fascinating and unusual fantasy from a uniquely gifted and unconventional writer.
