Hadrian the Seventh : Historical Novel - A Story of The Reformer

"Hadrian the Seventh" is a captivating novel by Frederick Rolfe that intertwines themes of faith, identity, and divine calling within a richly textured narrative. The book employs Rolfe's distinctive literary style, characterized by lush, baroque prose that evokes the opulence of a bygone era. Set in a fantastical alternate reality where the protagonist, a failed novelist named George Arthur Rose, unexpectedly becomes the Pope, the novel deftly explores questions of religious authority and personal redemption in a world teeming with moral dilemmas. It stands as a significant entry in early 20th-century literature, amidst a backdrop of both modernism and a resurgence of interest in spiritual themes. Frederick Rolfe, also known as Baron Corvo, was a figure marked by personal trials, including financial struggles and a complex relationship with his own identity. His experience as a marginalized artist in a rapidly changing society informed his sympathetic portrayal of the outsider's journey in "Hadrian the Seventh." Rolfe's own spiritual explorations and fascination with ecclesiastical subjects deeply influenced the novel, as he blended his fascination with Catholicism with his unconventional views. This book is highly recommended for readers who appreciate profound philosophical inquiries nestled within compelling narratives. Enthusiasts of character-driven literature that examines the paradoxes of power and ambition, as well as those intrigued by historical and religious settings, will find "Hadrian the Seventh" a rewarding and thought-provoking experience.
