Frederick Rolfe, a.k.a. Baron Corvo, though best known for his novel Hadrian the Seventh and his eccentric personality, was also a master of the short story, which found expression in odd pseudo-biographical pieces and unique fictions that expressed his own unique sense of style. The present collection contains seven of Rolfe's best short prose works: three Venetian narratives written toward the end of his life, two tales featuring the Princess of Cinthyanum, and two other peculiar tales, the first of which, 'The Tattooed Wedding Ring, ' must certainly be seen as an early example of experimental fiction. Previously confined to hard-to-find limited editions, these stories are here available for the first time to a broader public.
