Catholic interest, but he certainly reset Alexander in a magnificent if not a favourable light. A very strong man guilty of hiding none of his human weaknesses - would have made a true and a kind epitaph for one of the greatest if not most pious of Popes.

Excerpt from A History of the Borgias
A bibliographical note has long been due to the rather mysterious and elusive writer who may possibly be known among immortals as "Baron Corvo" as he was to mortals by the equally uncertain "Fr. Rolfe. The prefix stood for Frederick not Father Rolfe, as unwary booksellers have supposed. Rolfe was never more than a tonsured Divinity student or a "spoilt priest" at most. His floruit can be placed between the Victorian and Georgian eras, which may account for the complete disregard and disdain he has received from critics. Likewise he fell between the Catholic and anti-Catholic stools and, as none would own and few befriend him in life, death brought oblivion to his works and pseudonyms. He was a master of the ungentle art of raising enemies, none of whom proved more relentless than himself.
Frederick William Serafino Austin Lewis Mary Rolfe (according to the British Museum catalogue) was born in London on July 22, 1860, and died in Venice on October 23, 1913. He became a rather inspiring if eccentric teacher at such schools as the Stationers', Saffron Walden Grammar, and Grantham Grammar, where he came under the friendly influence of Dr. Hardy, later the Vice-Principal of Jesus College, Oxford. - Dr. Hardy appreciated him as a teacher, though on one occasion it was found necessary to collect and destroy a serious reproach which Rolfe dictated to the boys concerning the morals of Martin Luther.
