The Rebel Angels
The Rebel Angels | Robertson Davies
4 posts | 6 read | 1 reading | 11 to read
Available as an eBook for the first time, The Rebel Angels is the first book in the celebrated Cornish Trilogy. Gypsies, defrocked monks, mad professors, and wealthy eccentrics—a remarkable cast peoples Robertson Davies’ brilliant spectacle of theft, perjury, murder, scholarship, and love at a modern university. Only Davies, author of Fifth Business, could have woven together their destinies with such wit, humour, and wisdom.

Rereading an old favorite. Wondering if Bobbie Johnson, who appears to have been the only person to ever borrow this book from the Coastal Plain Regional Library, enjoyed it as much as I do.

I'm sure it's been 20 years since I've read this one but it takes place at the University of Toronto, pokes plenty of fun at academia and the most memorable character (for me) is a professor who studies, um, poop. Yep. #funphotofriday @Liberty

1/3 of The Cornish Trilogy down! A tasty salad of ideas, themes, symbolism, satire... It was smart; but the point of it all wasn't clear. I'm thinking that it's value lies in its being part of the whole trilogy.

BethFishReads I loved these books. Sorry they're only so-so for you 8y
Dogearedcopy There us a lot to love, and after all is read and done, I may very well end up bumping up my rating! I just haven't had that "Aha!" moment yet where it all clicks. @BethFishReads 8y

shawnmooney I came of age in Canada when Davies was an insufferable cranky snob of an old man of letters and I couldn't get past all that to read any of his books. Decades later, I do think I'll at least give 'Fifth Business' a go. 8y

Just started this backlist title Sunday night, and to say it's resonating w/me would be something of an understatement! I'm all mixed up with this book, my memories, and 2 nights of intense dreaming... I couldn't let go of this book right now even if I wanted to!
