From the supplier: Brigid Brophy's biography of Ronald Firbank's 'Prancing Novelist' proved her a sensitive biographer, one who was able to re-live the life of her subject. Her recognition and celebration of his homosexuality as an integral part of his art widened the scope of literary criticism. Apart from this biography cum defense of fiction, Brophy's praise of Firbank is found in her works that show his deep influence in both form and content. Of her novels, the 'Finishing Touch' is frankly Firbankian in idiom. Another is 'Palace Without Chairs,' which owes much to Firbank's imagery, language and setting.
