This Chatto & Windus edition of Hadrian the Seventh (1959) is of interest to collectors of Frederick Rolfe, early 20th century British fiction, and Catholic literary curiosities. A very good copy in the original crimson dust jacket with cream lettering and gilt spine decoration - the jacket shows light rubbing to extremities and some toning to the rear panel, but retains its striking appearance. Boards clean and tight beneath. Interior pages cream and clean, with the characteristic italic typeface and the Decree of Urban VIII declaration signed by Fr. Rolfe, dated xxii Jul., 1904. The rear panel advertises Nicholas Crabbe at 21s net. A handsome and collectable copy of this celebrated reprint. Synopsis: Frederick Rolfe’s extraordinary roman à clef imagines an embittered English Catholic writer, a thinly veiled self-portrait, unexpectedly elected Pope, taking the name Hadrian VII. Part theological fantasy, part savage satire, part wish-fulfilment, the novel is one of the most singular and eccentric works in the English literary canon. First published in 1904, it was rediscovered in the mid-twentieth century and adapted for the stage in 1968. Review: Hadrian the Seventh is a work of fierce, idiosyncratic genius. Rolfe’s prose, ornate, allusive, and shot through with wounded pride - creates a narrator of compelling strangeness. D. H. Lawrence called it “the work of a man demon”; the Observer praised its “florid genius” and “exotic fantasy.” This Chatto & Windus reprint brought Rolfe’s masterpiece to a new generation of readers and remains a desirable copy for collectors of literary curiosities and Catholic fiction.…

Expertise in 19th and 20th Century Literature
We specialize in the acquisition and sale of rare and collectible first editions, with a particular focus on significant literary works from the 19th and 20th centuries. Each volume in our inventory is selected for its historical importance, condition, and bibliographical significance.
Meticulous Cataloging and Description
Every book is physically inspected and described with professional rigor. We provide detailed condition reports noting any specific flaws, previous ownership marks, or restorative work. For first editions, we prioritize the identification of "points" and issue states to ensure our customers receive exactly what is described.
Authenticity and Provenance
Authenticity is the cornerstone of our business. We guarantee the stated edition and printing of every item. Where notable provenance exists, it is clearly documented within the listing. Collectors can purchase with the confidence that each item has been vetted against standard bibliographical references.
Commitment to the Physical Object
We understand that for the serious collector, the dust jacket, binding, and paper quality are as important as the text itself. We aim to preserve the integrity of these objects through archival-grade storage until the moment they are dispatched to their new homes.

Wenn Sie Verbraucher sind, können Sie gemäß den folgenden Bestimmungen vom Vertrag zurücktreten. Verbraucher ist jede natürliche Person, die zu Zwecken handelt, die nicht ihrer kaufmännischen, gewerblichen, künstlerischen oder beruflichen Tätigkeit zugerechnet werden können.
Informationen zum Widerrufsrecht
Gesetzliches Widerrufsrecht
Sie haben das Recht, den Vertrag innerhalb von 14 Tagen ohne Angabe von Gründen zu widerrufen.
Die Widerrufsfrist beträgt 14 Tage ab dem Tag, an dem Sie oder ein von Ihnen benannter Dritter, der nicht der Transporteur ist, die letzte Ware oder den letzten Posten oder das letzte Exemplar in Besitz genommen hat.
Um das Widerrufsrecht auszuüben, füllen Sie auf unserer Website unter „Meine Einkäufe" in „Mein Nutzerkonto" eine eindeutige Erklärung elektronisch aus und senden Sie sie ab. Wir werden Ihnen unverzüglich eine Bestätigung über den Eingang eines solchen Widerrufs auf einem dauerhaften Datenträger (z. B. per E-Mail) übermitteln.
Um die Widerrufsfrist einzuhalten, reicht es aus, dass Sie Ihre Mitteilung über die Ausübung des Widerrufsrechts vor Ablauf der Widerrufsfrist absenden.
Auswirkungen des Widerrufs
Wenn Sie diesen Vertrag widerrufen, erstatten wir Ihnen alle Zahlungen, die wir von Ihnen erhalten haben, einschließlich der Lieferkosten (mit Ausnahme der zusätzlichen Kosten, die entstehen, wenn Sie eine andere Art der Lieferung als die von uns angebotene günstigste Standardlieferung gewählt haben).
Wir können einen Abzug von der Rückerstattung für den Wertverlust der gelieferten Waren vornehmen, wenn der Verlust auf eine unnötige Behandlung durch Sie zurückzuführen ist.
Wir werden die Rückerstattung unverzüglich und nicht später als 14 Tage nach dem Tag vornehmen, an dem wir über Ihre Entscheidung, diesen Vertrag zu widerrufen, informiert wurden.
Für die Rückerstattung verwenden wir dasselbe Zahlungsmittel, das Sie für die ursprüngliche Transaktion verwendet haben, es sei denn, Sie haben ausdrücklich etwas anderes vereinbart; in keinem Fall werden Ihnen aufgrund einer solchen Rückerstattung Gebühren berechnet.

Professional Archival Packaging
We understand that rare books are fragile and often irreplaceable. To ensure your investment arrives in the exact condition described, every order undergoes a rigorous four-stage packaging process:
- Archival Protection: Each book is fitted with a fresh, removable Mylar sleeve to protect the dust jacket (where applicable).
- Acid-Free Barrier: The volume is wrapped in premium acid-free tissue paper to prevent any chemical transfer or scuffing.
- Moisture & Impact Shield: The book is enclosed in a dedicated bubble-wrap pouch to provide a cushioned, moisture-resistant barrier.
- Structural Defense: Your order is finally secured in a heavy-duty, corrugated book-wrap featuring "crumple zones" designed to absorb impact during long-distance transit.
Shipping Methodology & Insurance
- Domestic (UK): All orders are sent via tracked services to ensure secure delivery.
- International: We ship worldwide via tracked and signed-for options.
- Insurance: High-value items (£100+) are provided with full insurance coverage as standard.
Weight Basis
Our shipping rates are calculated based on allowing for an average book weight of 400g to 1kg. For exceptionally heavy volumes, multi-volume sets, or oversized folios, we may contact you to request additional postage via the AbeBooks system.
Customs and International Transit
We provide accurate customs declarations for all international shipments to ensure smooth transit through border controls. For items sent to the EU, we utilize the IOSS system where applicable to streamline the import process.
If you have any specific requirements regarding your shipment or need a bespoke courier quote, please contact Alexander David through the "Ask Bookseller a Question" link.
