Octavo, pp. [1-2] [i-viii] ix-xxii [1] 2-298 [299] [300: blank] [note: leaf preceding half title is blank save for signature mark * on recto] + undated 16-page publisher's catalogue inserted at rear, original decorated dark blue cloth, front and spine panels stamped in gold and blind. First edition. An archaeological dig in Arme…nia uncovers the hidden, undisturbed tomb of King Balthazar of ancient Moxoene. In addition to a Smith & Wesson revolver, a pocket watch, and several gold coins dating from the late 1800s, the tomb contains a series of thirty-four papyri that date from as early as 44 BC. These papyri recount how Nicholas Crabbe, a young student of the occult, accidentally got tossed centuries back in time while summoning Egyptian immortals using a spell book he found in one of Isis' temples near Cyprus in 1899. Crabbe's narrative details how he has lived not only as Odysseus but also as King Balthazar, one of the three magi who actually witnesses Christ's birth. His adventures with the Greek Olympians include his invading Hades to free Helen of Troy whom he later marries. While Frederick William Rolfe's work as Baron Corvo has garnered a devoted cult following over the years, including noted bibliophile A. J. Symons, E. F. Bleiler considers THE WEIRD OF THE WANDERER a "very dull, forced work." Ashley, Who's Who in Horror and Fantasy Fiction, p. 156. Bleiler, The Guide to Supernatural Fiction 1348. Locke, A Spectrum of Fantasy, p. 179. Bleiler (1978), p. 162. Reginald 11528. Woolf B9. Just a touch of fade to spine panel, scattered foxing, more so to preliminaries, a very good copy, outwardly quite attractive with bright cover lettering. (#170136).

Add to basketFirst Edition. Octavo, pp., xxii, 298, [2], 16 publisher's ads. Bound in publisher's original deep violet cloth, upper board blind stamped with Egyptian design with gilt titles, gilt fillets to spine tips, gilt spine titles. Cloth very lightly soiled and ever so slightly rubbed to corners, top-edge dusty. Contents firm and tight… and clean save a small, neat, ink reference to rear paste-down. A very good copy. Superb piece of Edwardian Weird Fiction with strong homoerotic overtones in which the protagonist performs Kemetic rituals to travel to the world of classic myth, embodying Odysseus and King Balthazar of Arabia. Although The Weird of the Wanderer predates the publication of Joyce's Ulysses by 6 years, scholar's have drawn comparisons between the protagonists Nicholas Crabbe and Stephen Dedalus. The work's eccentric author, Frederick William Rolfe (1860 -1913) was a queer Roman Catholic priest, artist, photographer and writer, and whilst he was greatly overlooked in his lifetime he has since come to be regarded as one of the strangest and original authors of the era. Published by occult booksellers William Rider and Sons, who were responsible for the Rider Waite tarot deck, with 12 pages of publisher's ads for esoteric books.
