{"product_id":"hadrian-vii-9780940322622","title":"Hadrian VII","description":"One day George Arthur Rose, hack writer and minor priest, discovers that he has been picked to be Pope. He is hardly surprised and not in the least daunted. \"The previous English pontiff was Hadrian the Fourth,\" he declares. \"The present English pontiff is Hadrian the Seventh. It pleases Us; and so, by Our own impulse, We command.\"Hadrian is conceived in the image of his creator, Fr. Rolfe, whose aristocratic pretensions (he called himself Baron Corvo), religious obsession, and anarchic and self-aggrandizing sensibility have made him known as one of the great English eccentrics. Fr. Rolfe endured a lifetime of indignities and disappointments. However, in the hilarious and touching pages of this, his finest novel, he triumphs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780940322622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.04w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2001 pg. 831\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2001 pg. 115\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Fr Rolfe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51707957215413,"sku":"9780940322622","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_635932d7-a9a3-429c-95e9-da150c8c54a1.jpg?v=1757396829","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/hadrian-vii-9780940322622","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
