John Cornelius
by Hugh Walpole
Walpole, as someone who wrote a biography of the life of John Cornelius, wrote a long first-person account of the life of a genius who could never harmonize the dream world with the world of reality, a writer who was desperate to create serious novels, neither for himself nor for those who read his books, and who famously died and was drawn for three fine tales. Walpole rewrote about a character whose life was never so real and who could not find happiness except in these strange moments in this chasm between himself and the world. Walpole's romantic flights give them a realistic break to soften them.
