The publisher's original red cloth binding remains tight, square, and structurally sound, showcasing vibrant, unoxidised gilt lettering to the spine with only trivial crushing to the spine ends. The text block is firm and the pages remain notably clean and bright, free from extraneous markings or inscriptions, though exhibiting some mild age-toning and faint foxing localised strictly to the top edge. The volume is an unclipped dust jacket that displays generalised age-toning, most prominently sunned on the spine panel and rear, alongside minor surface rubbing and light edge-wear, yet it remains entirely intact and highly presentable on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/strong\u003e: This is the second impression of Cecil Woolf’s definitive bibliography, heavily revised and greatly enlarged from its original 1957 publication. Issued as part of the esteemed Soho Bibliographies series (No. VII), this 1972 edition remains an indispensable reference for scholars and collectors of Frederick Rolfe. The volume features a photographic frontispiece depicting Rolfe during his training at Oscott in 1887–88. While the first edition of this bibliography appears with some frequency, this expanded second edition is notably less common on the open market and represents the final, updated word on Rolfe's complex publishing history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn essential resource for bibliophiles and literary historians, Cecil Woolf's meticulously researched bibliography chronicles the convoluted and fascinating literary output of Frederick William Rolfe, the eccentric author best known by his pseudonym, Baron Corvo. From his famously rare and suppressed editions to his varied contributions to periodicals, this comprehensive guide accurately maps the contortuplicate publishing life of one of the Edwardian era's most peculiar and compelling literary figures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54507663262035,"sku":"4950","price":22.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260730_235018.jpg?v=1786016370","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/a-bibliography-of-frederick-rolfe-baron-corvo-cecil-woolf-2nd-edition-revised","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
