Only a few of the stories were published commercially; most have been available only in expensive, limited editions, and four stories are published here for the first time from Firbank's manuscripts. Included in a appendix are two other pieces Firbank wrote at the same age the poem "The Wind & the Roses" and his only venture into art criticism, "An Early Flemish Painter "and detailed textual notes that give the publishing history for all the works.

   http://www.redflame93.com/Firbank.html
   
   Extractions: Ronald Firbank, whose real name was Arthur Annesley, was born in London, England in 1886. During his brief career he achieved some recognition as an innovator in satiric dialogue and narrative techniques. His books reflect his own legendary, eccentric, if not personal life, with all its bizarre characters and laced with sophisticated wit. He wrote such novels as Vainglory Inclinations Caprice Valmouth ) and The Flower Beneath the Foot ), but his most famous is probably Prancing Nigger (1924) which was originally published in England as Sorrow in Sunlight . His last novel, The Artificial Princess , although written circa 1915 was released posthumously in 1934. He is one of those British authors who apparently became strongly influenced by the writings of Aleister Crowley, but very little survives to tell of the full extent of their relationship. Another author Since Ronald Firbank wrote many stories it is only fair to ask if he ever used Aleister Crowley as a model for any characters in his novels. This is difficult to ascertain. We do know that in his first novel, Vainglory , two characters named Mrs Shamefoot and Lady Castleyard try to raise the devil with remarkable results. One biographer quickly points out that this scene

   Extractions: 1886-1926, English author, whose original name was Arthur Annesley Ronald Firbank. Of a delicate and eccentric nature, Firbank lived the life of a leisured aesthete. His novels, which have appealed to a small but appreciative audience, include Vainglory Valmouth (1919), and Concerning the Eccentricities of Cardinal Pirelli (1926). Written in a highly personal, satiric style with no conventional plots, his books are disciplined journeys into a world inhabited by bizarre characters. His writings have had an influence on the novels of such writers as Evelyn Waugh, Ivy Compton-Burnett, and Aldous Huxley.
