</form>On an overcast October afternoon in 1913, the lifeless body of a middle-aged Englishman was found sprawled across his bed in a run-down palazzo on Venice's Grand Canal. Thus ended the life of one of the most extraordinary sons of Edwardian England, Baron Corvo, a gifted writer and painter.

The trajectory of his turbulent life was breathtaking, his range of experience vast. In this evocative book, the first biographical overview of Corvo's world in almost 40 years, noted Corvo scholar Robert Scoble examines the writer's character and motivations.
