Reader's note

A fabulous 1969 edition of The Play of Hadrian VII by Peter Luke! This is part of The Penguin Plays series and are now vintage paperbacks! The play has enjoyed a highly successful ruin on the West End Stage and was an adaptation of the brilliant fantasy-autobiography of Fr. Rolfe, also known as Baron Corvo. Rolfe's novel was an upsurge of twenty years of bitterness and frustration against the Roman Church for its refusal to accept him as a priest. In this theatrical version Peter Luke catches the mordant, almost perverse humour of the original, and adds a strong dramatic sense to an already powerful fantasy: the story of Rolfe's elevation to the Papacy and the command of the very hierarchy that had rejected him.
