Omschrijving
Firbank (1886-1926) was an innovative English novelist whose eight short novels, partly inspired by Oscar Wilde and the London aesthetes of the 1890s, consist largely of dialogue with references to religion, social-climbing, and sexuality. He was the son of MP Sir Thomas Firbank, and was educated briefly at Uppingham School before going on to Trinity Hall, Cambridge which he left in 1909 without taking a degree. In 1907 he converted to Roman Catholicism. Living off his inheritance, he travelled throughout Spain, Italy, the Middle East and North Africa. Firbank was openly gay and chronically shy, indulging in both alcohol and cannabis, and died of lung disease in Rome aged 40. In this novel published in 1923, subtitled Being a Record of the Early Life of St Laura de Nazianzi and the Times in Which She Lived, the setting is an imaginary country somewhere in the Balkans. The characters include the King and Queen, sundry high-born ladies about the Court, and an attendant chorus of priests and nuns. Includes portraits of the author by Augustus John and Wyndham Lewis.
