A nice copy of this biography of ‘The Great Beast’, one of several written on this topic by Symonds, who also edited Crowley’s autobiography. Unsurprisingly perhaps, Symonds’ appreciation of Crowley diminished the more he found out about the occultist, and he soon turned his attention to more literary fantasies.
