Frederick Rolfe wanted to influence how others see him both by his behaviour and his literary output. The biography The Quest for Corvo skewed the image he wanted to project. This work analyses the impression Rolfe attempted to create of himself in his fiction and discusses the image projected by his correspondence and the biographical work on him.
Drawing on theories of biography and autobiography, including the works of Philippe Lejeune, Michel Foucault, and Philip Roth, Rolfe, Rose, Corvo, Crabbe attempts to tackle the issue of Frederick Rolfes image. Like many other authors, Rolfe (18601913), also known as Baron Corvo, wanted to influence the way others see him through his works. However, the image he wanted to project was skewed by A.J.A. Symons fascinating, yet inaccurate, biography, The Quest for Corvo, which popularized a strongly autobiographical approach to his work. Analysing the issue, this book takes into consideration his biographies, his self-fashioning in his letters, and his novels, particularly focusing on the characters who were heavily inspired by his own experiences, such as Nicholas Crabbe and George Arthur Rose.
